# KSPGMRES

Implements the Generalized Minimal Residual method. (Saad and Schultz, 1986) with restart

### Options Database Keys

| -ksp_gmres_restart <restart> | - the number of Krylov directions to orthogonalize against
| -ksp_gmres_haptol <tol> | - sets the tolerance for "happy ending" (exact convergence)
| -ksp_gmres_preallocate | - preallocate all the Krylov search directions initially (otherwise groups of vectors are allocated as needed)
| -ksp_gmres_classicalgramschmidt | - use classical (unmodified) Gram-Schmidt to orthogonalize against the Krylov space (fast) (the default)
| -ksp_gmres_modifiedgramschmidt | - use modified Gram-Schmidt in the orthogonalization (more stable, but slower)
| -ksp_gmres_cgs_refinement_type <refine_never,refine_ifneeded,refine_always> | - determine if iterative refinement is used to increase the stability of the classical Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization.
| -ksp_gmres_krylov_monitor | - plot the Krylov space generated

### Notes

Left and right preconditioning are supported, but not symmetric preconditioning.
