solver_option - direct and iterative solver options
(rheolef-7.1)
This class implements a set of options for customizing a
solver(4). An instance of this class can be supplied to the
solver(4) constructor.
iterative
This boolean flag controls the choice between an
iterative or a direct method. Default is direct for matrix obtained from 1D or
2D PDE problems and iterative for 3D ones. The direct solver bases on the
mumps
library for a distributed environment and, otherwise, on the
suitesparse or the eigen
in a sequential one. The iterative solver
bases on cg(5) conjugate gradient algorithm for symmetric
positive definite matrix and on the gmres(5) algorithm
otherwise.preferred_library
The direct solver bases on an external library: it could
be either mumps, suitesparse or eigen. When all these libraries are
available, then mumps is the default when is is well configured with
either the scoth or the metis ordering library. When neither mumps
nor suitesparse are available, the eigen choice is selected. This
option allows one to impose an alternative choice e.g. suitesparse, by
setting the string to 'suitesparse'. This option can be provided as a list
of choices, separated by a space or a coma, e.g.
preferred_library='suitesparse eigen mumps'.
default_preferred_library(a)
This method returns all the the available libraries in
the decreasing preference order. The result depends upon the matrix a,
especially if it is symmetric definite positive or not, and whether it
requires memory communications or not.
used_library(a,sopt)
This method returns the name of the available library
that will be used by the solver when a direct solvers is selected. The
result depends upon the properties of the a matrix and upon the solver
option sopt, especially the sopt.preferred_library.
compute_determinant
Compute also the determinant of the matrix. Requires
mumps or suitesparse.
n_refinement
Number of iterative refinement, when using a direct
method (suitesparse only support it).
tol
This floating parameter control the tolerance for the
stopping criterion. Default is the machine epsilon for the default
Float_2 type. Recall that the default Float_2 type is defined at
Rheolef configuration time and is double by default, when no special
configuration option is used.
max_iter
Maximum number of iteration when using an iterative
method.
absolute_stopping
Absolute or relative stopping criterion.
With the absolute criterion, the algorithm stops when norm(A*x-b) < tol,
otherwise it stops when norm(A*x-b) < tol*norm(b). Default is to use an
absolute stopping criterion.
residue
On return, gives the obtained residue, optionally divided
by the initial one when using a relative stopping. It is less or equal to
tol when the iterative algorithm stops with succes.
n_iter
On return, gives the number of iterations performed. It
is always less or equal to max_iter when the iterative algorithm stops with
succes.
p_err
A pointer to the
diststream(2) where residues are
printed during iterations. When this pointer is zero, no errors are printed.
Default is to print to derr
standard diststream(2)
error.label
When printing errors, each line is prefixed by
[label]
. When the label is empty, each iterative algorithm uses its default
label, e.g. 'cg' for the
cg(5) conjugate gradient. By default the
label is empty and this option is used to customize the convergence
trace.
krylov_dimension
The dimension of the Krylov space used by the
gmres(5) algorithm. Default is krylov_dimension=6
.verbose_level
Can be set to 0, 1, 2 or 3. The default is 0.
level_of_fill
Built an incomplete factorization with the prescribed
level of fill [1:5].
do_check
Performs extra checks for debug.
force_seq
In distributed mode, restrict the linear system
resolution to diagonal blocs per process. This option is only active when
using the mumps direct solver.
ooc
Out-of-core limit (Mo/percent depending on compilation
options). In development.
amalgamation
Level of amalgamation [10:70] for Kass. In
development.
