[petsc-users] PETSc MUMPS interface

[Jose E. Roman]

Hong may give a better answer, but if you look at PCSetUp_LU() https://petsc.org/main/src/ksp/pc/impls/factor/lu/lu.c.html#PCSetUp_LU you will see that MatLUFactorSymbolic() is called unconditionally during the first PCSetUp(). Currently there is no way to check if the user has already called MatLUFactorSymbolic().

Attached is my code where I am using SLEPc to compute eigenvalues, and I use MUMPS for factorization. I have commented above the code that computes the memory estimates, could you please check and tell me if this would cause the symbolic factor to be computed twice (a second time inside EPSSolve?), as I am seeing a slight increase in the overall computation time?
