[petsc-users] slepc trap for large matrix

[Kannan, Ramakrishnan]

Barry,

Thanks for the kind response. I am building slepc 3.7.3 and when I configure –with-64-bit-indices=1, I am getting the following error. 

./configure --with-64-bit-indices=1 --prefix=/lustre/atlas/proj-shared/csc209/ramki/slepc
ERROR: Invalid arguments --with-64-bit-indices=1
Use -h for help

When I run ./configure –h, I am getting the following options. Let me know if I am missing something.

      The resulting matrix has something like
    
    >>> 119999808*119999808*1.e-6
    14,399,953,920.036863
    
      nonzero entries. It is possible that some integer operations are overflowing since C int can only go up to about 4 billion before overflowing.
    
      You can building with a different PETSC_ARCH value using the additional ./configure option for PETSc of --with-64-bit-indices and see if the problem is resolved.

This is a 1D row distributed sparse uniform random matrix with 1e-6 sparsity  over 36 processors. It works fine for smaller matrices of sizes with 1.2 million x 1.2 million. Let me know if you are looking for more information.
