[petsc-users] correction to previous email

[Zhang, Hong]

I just tried to run ex20opt_ic.c (a two-variable ODE) which should be very similar to your problem. The file size is 64 bytes on my laptop. Can you prepare a minimal working example for us to reproduce the issue?

Since the size of your ODE is so small, it would be much better to store the checkpoints in memory instead of to the disk. This can be done with -ts_trajectory_type memory.

Thanks,
Hong (Mr.)

That is incorrect; it is actually writing files with a few kB (about 10 kB) per timestep. My questions in the previous email (why are these so big, and can I change that somehow?) still apply though, since this is still much larger than these files "should" be based on the size of the state (128 bits) and the time variable (64 bits).
