[petsc-users] DMComposite and Matrix construction

[Gideon Simpson]

That’s generating malloc errors:

[0]PETSC ERROR: --------------------- Error Message --------------------------------------------------------------
[0]PETSC ERROR: Argument out of range
[0]PETSC ERROR: New nonzero at (10,0) caused a malloc
Use MatSetOption(A, MAT_NEW_NONZERO_ALLOCATION_ERR, PETSC_FALSE) to turn off this check

I suspect this is because DMCreateMatrix is picking a sparsity pattern which is not consistent with what I need.

Is there a way to get the matrix size to layout in a “useful” way, in the sense that the first process, which owns the two degrees of freedom of p_dm and the first N0 number of the rows of u_dm, controls the corresponding N0+2 rows of the matrix, and analgously for the second process has the next N1 rows of the u_dm vector, and has the next N1 rows of the matrix?
