[petsc-users] PETSc MUMPS interface

[Zhang, Hong]

Varun,
I am trying to find a way to enable you to switch options after MatLUFactorSymbolic(). A hack is modifying the flag  'mumps->matstruc' inside  MatLUFactorSymbolic_AIJMUMPS() and MatFactorNumeric_MUMPS().

My understanding of what you want is:
  // collect mumps memory info
  ...
  MatLUFactorSymbolic(F,A,perm,iperm,&info);
  printMumpsMemoryInfo(F);
  //---------
if (memory is available) {
    EPSSolve(eps); --> skip calling of MatLUFactorSymbolic()
} else {
   //out-of-core (OOC) option in MUMPS
}

Am I correct? I'll let you know once I work out a solution.
Hong

Hi Jose, Hong,

Thanks for the explanation. I have verified using -log_view that MatLUFactorSymbolic is indeed getting called twice.

Hong, we use MUMPS solver for other things, and we typically run the symbolic analysis first and get memory estimates to ensure that we have enough memory available to run the case. If the available memory is not enough, we can stop or switch to the out-of-core (OOC) option in MUMPS. We wanted to do the same when using MUMPS via SLEPc/PETSc. Please let me know if there are other ways of getting these memory stats and switching options during runtime with PETSc.
Appreciate your help!

Thanks,
Varun

Varun,
I believe Jose is correct. You may verify it by running your code with option '-log_view', then check the number of calls to MatLUFactorSym.

I guess I can add a flag in PCSetUp() to check if user has already called MatLUFactorSymbolic() and wants to skip it. Normally, users simply allocate sufficient memory in the symbolic factorization. Why do you want to check it?

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?
