# PCGAMGSetProcEqLim
Set number of equations to aim for per process on the coarse grids via processor reduction in `PCGAMG` 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h" 
#include "petscksp.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCGAMGSetProcEqLim(PC pc, PetscInt n)
```
Logically Collective on pc


## Input Parameters

- ***pc -*** the preconditioner context
- ***n -*** the number of equations



## Options Database Key

- ***-pc_gamg_process_eq_limit <limit> -*** set the limit



## Note
`PCGAMG` will reduce the number of MPI processes used directly on the coarse grids so that there are around <limit> equations on each process
that has degrees of freedom
