[petsc-users] PETSc Distributed Array vs. AIJ format

[Wadud.Miah at awe.co.uk]

Hello Petsc Users,

I am using the distributed array format and have noticed it uses less memory than the AIJ format and less point-to-point communication. Does anyone know why this is so? I think the distributed array format uses less memory because it doesn't use look up tables like the AIJ format does. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Wadud.
