Hi,

I'm investigating the performance of a few different direct solvers and I'd 
like to compare the memory requirements of the different solvers and orderings. 
I am especially interested in the memory usage necessary to store the factored 
matrix.

I experimented with the PetscMemoryGetCurrentUsage and 
PetscMemoryGetMaximumUsage before and after KSPSolve. But these seem to return 
the memory usage on 1 process and not the total memory usage. Is this correct? 
I also noticed that the difference in maximum memory usage is very small before 
and after KSPSolve. Does it register the memory usage in external packages?



thanks,
Vincent
