Hello, I have a slight problem with performance of matsetvalues when inserting values row-by-row on single processor instead of column-by-column.
???? ierr = MatCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,&L); ???? ierr = MatSetSizes(L,PETSC_DECIDE,PETSC_DECIDE,n,n); ???? ierr = MatSetFromOptions(L); ???? MatSeqAIJSetPreallocation(L,PETSC_NULL,nnz); ? ? (...) ??? ???? MatSetValues(L,rows,indices_y,1,&col,values,INSERT_VALUES); vs ??? ???? MatSetValues(L,1,&row,cols,indices_x,values,INSERT_VALUES); First way goes quick and gives me mallocs in matsetvalues = 0 in -info While the second one takes much longer and does mallocs. Why is it so that inserting rows is slower than inserting columns when proper nnz was provided? Or maybe there is my mistake here somewhere?
