Re: petsc backend and periodic boundary conditions by PeriodicBC

 

Hello Andy

Thanks for your reply! I am using dolfin 0.8.1 together with the dolfin-grade2 library. I did not yet update to keep consistent with the grade2lib. otherwise there might be a possibility to switch of the petsc backend in the periodic demo or do i have to recompile dolfin to not using petsc?

Hi Patrick,

Are you using the development version of FEniCS or still 0.8.1 with
dolfin-grade2? I'm trying to update my library at the moment and the
periodic demo works without petsc on the dev version, so you might be
able to work on it with that.  It looks like somewhere in the code is
using MatRestoreRow with a modified array instead of MatSetValues, but
not having the dev environment setup with Petsc I haven't found the
problem yet.

hello!

i observed some strange behavior when i run the periodic poisson demo
(/pde/periodic). i use PETSC as backend and when it comes to applying
the bc's i get strange messages all over std output, here is a cut-out
from that:

and and and...

this stuff occurs exactly between the "Applying periodic boundary
conditions" and the "Applying periodic boundary conditions (finished)"
and then the program finishes successfully, though i do not trust the
solution.
Do you ever had something similar to this?
Is there a problem that i can not use periodic boundary conditions
together with PETSC or did i possibly miss-configured either PETSC or
dolfin?


Thanks for your help,

Patrick
