Hi Dr. Bangerth, As a follow-up question, upon calling compress(), will the local copy of the system matrix on a specific processor get updated to contain information from all other processors? In other words, if I print out the system matrix from a particular processor after calling compress(), is that the same global system matrix that the linear solver is solving?
Thanks a lot for clarifying! Best, Jimmy On Wednesday, July 29, 2020 at 9:55:38 AM UTC-5, Wolfgang Bangerth wrote: > > > Jimmy, > > > A minimum example to reproduce this is attached.
