# MATSOLVERSUPERLU_DIST

Parallel direct solver package for LU factorization Use ./configure --download-superlu_dist --download-parmetis --download-metis --download-ptscotch to have PETSc installed with SuperLU_DIST

Use -pc_type lu -pc_factor_mat_solver_type superlu_dist to use this direct solver

Works with AIJ matrices

### Options Database Keys

| -mat_superlu_dist_r <n> | - number of rows in processor partition
| -mat_superlu_dist_c <n> | - number of columns in processor partition
| -mat_superlu_dist_3d | - use 3d partition, requires SuperLU_DIST 7.2 or later
| -mat_superlu_dist_d <n> | - depth in 3d partition (valid only if -mat_superlu_dist_3d) is provided
| -mat_superlu_dist_equil | - equilibrate the matrix
| -mat_superlu_dist_rowperm <NOROWPERM,LargeDiag_MC64,LargeDiag_AWPM,MY_PERMR> | - row permutation
| -mat_superlu_dist_colperm <NATURAL,MMD_AT_PLUS_A,MMD_ATA,METIS_AT_PLUS_A,PARMETIS> | - column permutation
| -mat_superlu_dist_replacetinypivot | - replace tiny pivots
| -mat_superlu_dist_fact <SamePattern> | - (choose one of) SamePattern SamePattern_SameRowPerm DOFACT
| -mat_superlu_dist_iterrefine | - use iterative refinement
| -mat_superlu_dist_statprint | - print factorization information

### Notes

If PETSc was configured with --with-cuda than this solver will automatically use the GPUs.
