[petsc-dev] mechanism to prevent running of untested PETSc codes on difficult machines

2011-07-08 Thread Barry Smith
I suggest we embed in the PETSc library a mechanism that does not allow an untested PETSc code to be run on machines like BlueGene and Cray (or even if possible clusters with batch systems). After a program has been successfully run a number of times on an easy to use machine (including

Reran ./configure but then cmake made me trouble. Sending the configure.log only to Jed Barry xxx=xxx Configure stage complete. Now build PETSc libraries with: make PETSC_DIR=/Users/barrysmith/Src/petsc-dev

[petsc-dev] getting processor for off proc value

2011-07-08 Thread Barry Smith
Jed, Are we planning on making the VecScatter the communications central for PETSc? I can add a VecScatterGetFromRank() (ugly name) that returns the rank for each received entry; there might be enough information to do this without any additional communication. There could

[petsc-dev] new configuration/compile system for PETSc

I am revisiting the idea of a new configuration/compile system for PETSc (with the prototype cll: ssh://petsc at petsc.cs.iit.edu//hg/petsc/cll) and am currently trying to see if we can come up with a list of requirements that satisfies all our needs and everyone's ambitions. I have added
