[petsc-users] Question about speed of MatMatSolveTranspose with MUMPS

[Zhang, Hong]

Lucas,
Solving
A X = B^T  #MatMatTransposeSolve() -- supported by petsc/mumps interface
or
A^T X = B #MatTransposeMatSolve() -- not supported
which one do you want ?
Hong

It seems yes, from mump manual


ICNTL(9) computes the solution using A or AT

Phase: accessed by the host during the solve phase.

Possible values :

1    : AX = B is solved.

!= 1 : ATX = B is solved.

  Yes, it appears no MUMPS matmatsolvetranspose is wired in. Does MUMPS provide such a function? If so it can be added with a few lines of code.

Hello,

I am using MUMPS to solve a system with multiple right hand sides.
I have noticed that the MatMatSolve function appears to be quite a bit faster than the MatMatSolveTranspose function.
I was trying to look through the petsc source to see where the MatMatSolveTranspose_MUMPS function was but couldn't find it.

Is PETSc just doing MatSolveTranspose_MUMPS for each right hand side when doing MatMatSolveTranspose with MUMPS?
If an accelerated version of MatMatSolveTranspose existed, it would be very useful for my application.

Regards,
Lucas
