What is not counted? Here is a example of what I get: Library loading? Really? Is there anything I can do to test if it really is library loading or to reduce loading time? I am attaching the full log summary Blaise Matt Summary of Stages: ----- Time ------ ----- Flops ----- --- Messages --- -- Message Lengths -- -- Reductions -- Avg %Total Avg %Total counts %Total Avg %Total counts %Total 0: Main Stage: 2.5763e+03 65.1% 3.2380e+15 100.0% 1.230e+11 100.0% 8.493e+02 100.0% 7.013e+06 97.0% Where is the missing 35% of the time? I call PetscLogBegin right after PetscInitialize. Okay, the total time is the time between PetscLogBegin() and the first several lines of PetscLogView(), before all the reductions. Thus it does not look like library loading is responsible. In this log, the main routine seems to be KSPSolve which takes 1.5e3. It looks like some time in this app is just not being logged. That would take popping the current stage and then pushing it again afterwards I think. We would have to know more about the code. That's what bugs me... I removed all custom logging and custom events from the code. The code does not call any external library. Basically, it iterates assembling a matrix, calling KSPSolve, assembling another matrix, calling TAOSolve, and writing results in exodus format. Is there a command line options that would give me some informations on the log level operations?
