[petsc-users] Application Error

[Sharp Stone]

Hi Barry,

Thank you for your suggestive reply.

I've also got a question that the routine PetscMemoryGetMaximumUsage would
return the memory used for the program, but this is returned memory values
used for the root processor or for all of the processors involved in the
computation?

Thanks!
