Not sure what you mean by where is your matrix? I am simply running ex6 in the ksp/examples/tests directory.
The reason I ran this test is because I was seeing the same behavior with my finite element code (on perfectly benign problems). Is there a built-in test that you use to check that superlu_dist is working properly with petsc? i.e. something you know that works with with petsc 3.3-p5? -sanjay On 12/23/12 4:56 PM, Jed Brown wrote: > Where is your matrix?
