[petsc-users] Transpose of Block Matrix with aij type

[Karl Rupp]

Hi Joon,

you're welcome - another idea: if you have just six matrices A1, A2, and 
B1-B4, it's worthwhile to compute the result blocks B1A1 + B2A2 and B3A1 
+ B4A2 directly into temporary matrices using standard operations and 
compose the result into a single matrix. This way you can avoid the more 
expensive copies of A1, A2, B1-B4.

Best regards,
Karli
