[firedrake] More detailled breakdown of PETSc timings / higher order geometric MG

[Eike Mueller]

Hi Lawrence,

if I set up the ksp as below, I get rid of the segfault. However, I don’t get any output from the KSP monitors attached to the subKSPs, only from the KSP monitor of the main KSP.

        up_solver = LinearVariationalSolver(up_problem, solver_parameters=sparams)
        ksp = up_solver.snes.getKSP()
        ksp.setUp()
        ksp.setMonitor(self._ksp_monitor)
        ksp_hdiv = ksp.getPC().getFieldSplitSubKSP()
        ksp_hdiv[0].setMonitor(KSPMonitor('fieldsplit_0',verbose=2))
        ksp_hdiv[1].setMonitor(KSPMonitor('fieldsplit_1',verbose=2))
        with self._ksp_monitor:
            up_solver.solve()

Thanks,

Eike

I suspect that for some reason the same PC (preonly+bjacobi+ILU) is less efficient for my standalone velocity mass matrix solve, possibly because the ilu does not work due to the wrong dof-ordering (I observe that preonly+bjacobi+ILU is not faster than cg+jacobi for my inversion, but in the fieldsplit case there is a significant difference).
