PCREDISTRIBUTE#
Redistributes a matrix for load balancing, removing the rows (and the corresponding columns) that only have a diagonal entry and then applies a KSP to that new smaller matrix
Notes#
Options for the redistribute KSP and PC with the options database prefix -redistribute_
Usually run this with -ksp_type preonly
If you have used MatZeroRows() to eliminate (for example, Dirichlet) boundary conditions for a symmetric problem then you can use, for example, -ksp_type preonly
-pc_type redistribute -redistribute_ksp_type cg -redistribute_pc_type bjacobi -redistribute_sub_pc_type icc to take advantage of the symmetry.
This does NOT call a partitioner to reorder rows to lower communication; the ordering of the rows in the original matrix and redistributed matrix is the same.
Developer Note#
Should add an option to this preconditioner to use a partitioner to redistribute the rows to lower communication.
