MatMatMultSymbolic

Performs construction, preallocation, and computes the ij structure of the matrix-matrix product C=A*B. Call this routine before calling MatMatMultNumeric().

Synopsis

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatMatMultSymbolic(Mat A,Mat B,PetscReal fill,Mat *C)
Neighbor-wise Collective on Mat Many br

Input Parameters

A - the left matrix Many br
B - the right matrix Many br
fill - expected fill as ratio of nnz(C)/(nnz(A) + nnz(B)), use PETSC_DEFAULT if you do not have a good estimate, Many brif C is a dense matrix this is irrelevent Many br

Output Parameters

C -the product matrix Many br

Notes

Unless scall is MAT_REUSE_MATRIX C will be created. Many br

To determine the correct fill value, run with -info and search for the string "Fill ratio" to see the value Many bractually needed. Many br

This routine is currently implemented for Many br- pairs of AIJ matrices and classes which inherit from AIJ, C will be of type AIJ Many br- pairs of AIJ (A) and Dense (B) matrix, C will be of type Dense. Many br- pairs of Dense (A) and AIJ (B) matrix, C will be of type Dense. Many br

Many br

Developers Note: There are ways to estimate the number of nonzeros in the resulting product, see for example, http://arxiv.org/abs/1006.4173 Many brWe should incorporate them into PETSc. Many br
