[petsc-users] issues with sparse direct solvers

Tue Aug 25 09:06:25 CDT 2015

Regarding the MUMPS issue, I’m not sure if this is useful, but when I run with the mumps flags  -mat_mumps_icntl_4 4, to see the progress, it hangs at this point:

 ... Structural symmetry (in percent)=   75
 Density: NBdense, Average, Median   =    2    9    7
 Ordering based on METIS
