Docs: Changes: 2.3.3
CHANGES
in the PETSc 2.3.3
General:
- PetscInitialize() will now also check for options
in .petscrc unless -skip_petscrc is used (note that since the file
options are checked before the command line you cannot pass
-skip_petscrc on the command line it must be passed in the file passed
into PetscInitialize().
- When a filename is passed into PetscInitialize() ~/.petscrc
and .petscrc are checked ALSO (they used to be skipped when a filename
was passed in) unless -skip_petscrc is passed in the input file
- PetscMapInitialize() has been split into
PetscMapInitialize() that
is called before the Map is ever used and then PetscMapSetUp() which is
called
after the blocksize and local or global size is set and determines the
ranges
etc.
- Changed the use of mpirun throughout the source to
mpiexec; this includes
petscmpirun -> petscmpiexec. Of course, PETSc will still work fine
with MPI implementations that use mpirun.
- Add fortran interface to PetscBag routines
config/configure.py:
- F90 interface is now enabled by default [if the compiler is
detected to be a f90 compiler]. i.e --with-f90-interface options is not
required. The f90 interface impl used is a new universal one. However
if you wish to use the old compiler specific one, then specify
--with-f90-interface=nof90src [for configure to autodetect] or specify
the appropriate one - like: --with-f90-interface=intel8
IS:
- changed IS_COLORING_LOCAL to IS_COLORING_GLOBAL
Vec:
VecScatter:
- Change prototype for VecScatterBegin() and VecScatterEnd()
[now the first argument is VecScatter]
Mat:
- moved most of SNESMF implementation into mat/impls/mffd
- MatMFFD is now a regular matrix type registered in
MatRegisterAll()
- changed SNESMF to MFFD for all previous SNESMF routines,
except MatCreateSNESMF()
- -snes_mf_option changed to -mat_mffd_option except for
-snes_mf and -snes_mf_operator
- SNES_KSP_EW... changed to SNESKSPWE... and
SNES_KSP_EW_ConvCtx to SNESKSPEW
- MatGetRowIJ(), MatGetColumnIJ(), MatRestoreRowIJ(),
MatRestoreColumnIJ() now take an extra argument
PC:
- changed PCMGSetCycles() and PCMGSetCyclesOnLevel() to
PCMGSetCycleType() and PCMGSetCycleTypeOnLevel() that take a
PCMGCycleType as argument and changed -pc_mg_cycle_type 1 or 2 to
-pc_mg_cycles v or w
- added PCMGMultiplicativeSetCycles() and
-pc_mg_multiplicative_cycles
- PCMGSetInterpolate() --> PCMGSetInterpolation()
- added PCREDUNDANT type, PCRedundantSetNumber() and
-pc_redundant_number
KSP:
- Changed KSPNormTypes to have consistant naming , i.e
KSP_NO_NORM -> KSP_NORM_NO
KSP_PRECONDITIONED_NORM -> KSP_NORM_PRECONDITIONED
KSP_UNPRECONDITIONED_NORM -> KSP_NORM_UNPRECONDITIONED
KSP_NATURAL_NORM -> KSP_NORM_NATURAL
- The following function names are changed to be consistant:
KSPSetMonitor -> KSPMonitorSet
KSPClearMonitor -> KSPMonitorCancel
KSPSingularValueMonitor -> KSPMonitorSingularValue
KSPDefaultMonitor -> KSPMonitorDefault
KSPTrueMonitor -> KSPMonitorTrueResidualNorm
KSPDefaultSMonitor -> KSPMonitorDefaultShort
KSPVecViewMonitor -> KSPMonitorSolution
KSPGMRESKrylovMonitor -> KSPGMRESMonitorKrylov
KSPLGMonitorCreate -> KSPMonitorLGCreate
KSPLGMonitor -> KSPMonitorLG
KSPLGMonitorDestroy -> KSPMonitorLGDestroy
KSPLGTrueMonitorCreate -> KSPMonitorLGTrueResidualNormCreate
KSPLGTrueMonitor -> KSPMonitorLGTrueResidualNorm
KSPLGTrueMonitorDestroy -> KSPMonitorLGTrueResidualNormDestroy
- Following names are changed
KSP_CONVERGED_STCG_NEG_CURVE -> KSP_CONVERGED_CG_NEG_CURVE
KSP_CONVERGED_STCG_CONSTRAINED -> KSP_CONVERGED_CG_CONSTRAINED
SNES:
TS:
- TSSetRHSMatrix() and TSSetLHSMatrix() were replaced by
TSSetMatrices()
- TSGetRHSMatrix() was replaced by TSGetMatrices()
DA:
DMMG:
SYS:
AO:
- AOData object and corresponding functionality is now
removed for PETSc
Sieve:
- Added support for 2D and 3D mesh generation and refinement
- Added support for mesh partitioning and distribution
- Added support for partitioning based upon arbitrary
dimensional entities, e.g. vertices, faces, etc.
- Added support for FIAT element generation
- Added support for higher order elements
- Added Poisson problem example in separate repository
Fortran:
ExternalPackages:
- Hypre interface is updated to use version 2.0.0
- Mumps interface is updated to use version 4.7.3
- fftw interface is updated to use v3.2alpha2
