Dear all,
I think parmetis is not involved since I still run out of memory if I use
the following options:
export opts='-st_type sinvert -st_ksp_type preonly -st_pc_type lu
-st_pc_factor_mat_solver_type superlu_dist -eps_true_residual 1'
and issuing:
mpiexec -n 24 ./ex7 -f1 A.petsc -f2 B.petsc -eps_nev 1 -eps_target
-4.008e-3+1.57142i $opts -eps_target_magnitude -eps_tol 1e-14 -memory_view
Bottom line is that the memory usage of petsc-3.9.4 / slepc-3.9.2 is much
lower than current version. I can only solve relatively small problems
using the 3.12 series :(
I have an example with smaller matrices that will likely fail in a 32 Gb
ram machine with petsc-3.12 but runs just fine with petsc-3.9. The
-memory_view output is
with petsc-3.9.4: (log 'justfine.log' attached)
Summary of Memory Usage in PETSc
Maximum (over computational time) process memory: total 1.6665e+10
max 7.5674e+08 min 6.4215e+08
Current process memory: total 1.5841e+10
max 7.2881e+08 min 6.0905e+08
Maximum (over computational time) space PetscMalloc()ed: total 3.1290e+09
max 1.5868e+08 min 1.0179e+08
Current space PetscMalloc()ed: total 1.8808e+06
max 7.8368e+04 min 7.8368e+04
with petsc-3.12.2: (log 'toobig.log' attached)
Summary of Memory Usage in PETSc
Maximum (over computational time) process memory: total 3.1564e+10
max 1.3662e+09 min 1.2604e+09
Current process memory: total 3.0355e+10
max 1.3082e+09 min 1.2254e+09
Maximum (over computational time) space PetscMalloc()ed: total 2.7618e+09
max 1.4339e+08 min 8.6493e+07
Current space PetscMalloc()ed: total 3.6127e+06
max 1.5053e+05 min 1.5053e+05
Strangely, monitoring with 'top' I can see *appreciably higher* peak memory
use, usually twice what -memory_view ends up reporting, both for
petsc-3.9.4 and current. Program fails usually at this peak if not enough
ram available
The matrices for the example quoted above can be downloaded here (I use
slepc's tutorial ex7.c to solve the problem):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/as9bec9iurjra6r/A.petsc?dl=0 (about 600 Mb)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/u2bbmng23rp8l91/B.petsc?dl=0 (about 210 Mb)
I haven't been able to use a debugger successfully since I am using a
compute node without the possibility of an xterm ... note that I have no
experience using a debugger so any help on that will also be appreciated!
Hope I can switch to the current petsc/slepc version for my production runs
soon...
Thanks again!
Santiago
