<p>PETSc consists of a collection of classes,
which are discussed in detail in later parts of the manual (<a class="reference internal" href="programming.html"><span class="doc">Programming with PETSc</span></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="additional.html"><span class="doc">Additional Information</span></a>).
The important PETSc classes include</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>index sets (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/IS/IS.html#IS">IS</a></span></code>), including permutations, for indexing into
vectors, renumbering, etc;</p></li>
<li><p>vectors (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Vec/Vec.html#Vec">Vec</a></span></code>);</p></li>
<li><p>matrices (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Mat/Mat.html#Mat">Mat</a></span></code>) (generally sparse);</p></li>
<li><p>over thirty Krylov subspace methods (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/KSP/KSP.html#KSP">KSP</a></span></code>);</p></li>
<li><p>dozens of preconditioners, including multigrid, block solvers, and
sparse direct solvers (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/PC/PC.html#PC">PC</a></span></code>);</p></li>
<li><p>nonlinear solvers (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/SNES/SNES.html#SNES">SNES</a></span></code>);</p></li>
<li><p>timesteppers for solving time-dependent (nonlinear) PDEs, including
support for differential algebraic equations, and the computation of
adjoints (sensitivities/gradients of the solutions) (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/TS/TS.html#TS">TS</a></span></code>);</p></li>
<li><p>managing interactions between mesh data structures and vectors,
matrices, and solvers (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/DM/DM.html#DM">DM</a></span></code>);</p></li>
<li><p>scalable optimization algorithms (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Tao/Tao.html#Tao">Tao</a></span></code>).</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Each class consist of an abstract interface (simply a set of calling
sequences; an abstract base class in C++) and an implementation for each algorithm and data structure.
Thus, PETSc provides clean and effective codes for the
various phases of solving PDEs, with a uniform approach for each type
of problem. This design enables easy comparison and use of different
algorithms (for example, to experiment with different Krylov subspace
methods, preconditioners, or truncated Newton methods). Hence, PETSc
provides a rich environment for modeling scientific applications as well
as for rapid algorithm design and prototyping.</p>
<p>The classes enable easy customization and extension of both algorithms
and implementations. This approach promotes code reuse and flexibility,
and also separates the issues of parallelism from the choice of algorithms.
The PETSc infrastructure creates a foundation for building large-scale
applications.</p>
<p>It is useful to consider the interrelationships among different pieces
of PETSc. <a class="reference internal" href="#fig-library"><span class="std std-ref">Numerical Libraries in PETSc</span></a> is a diagram of some
of these pieces. The figure illustrates the library’s hierarchical
organization, which enables users to employ the solvers that are most
appropriate for a particular problem.</p>

<h2>Suggested Reading<a class="headerlink" href="#suggested-reading" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The manual is divided into three parts:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="introduction.html"><span class="doc">Introduction to PETSc</span></a></p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="programming.html"><span class="doc">Programming with PETSc</span></a></p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="additional.html"><span class="doc">Additional Information</span></a></p></li>
</ul>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="introduction.html"><span class="doc">Introduction to PETSc</span></a> describes the basic procedure for using the PETSc library and
presents two simple examples of solving linear systems with PETSc. This
section conveys the typical style used throughout the library and
enables the application programmer to begin using the software
immediately.</p>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="programming.html"><span class="doc">Programming with PETSc</span></a> explains in detail the use of the various PETSc libraries, such
as vectors, matrices, index sets, linear and nonlinear solvers, and
graphics. <a class="reference internal" href="additional.html"><span class="doc">Additional Information</span></a> describes a variety of useful information, including
profiling, the options database, viewers, error handling, and some
details of PETSc design.</p>
<p>PETSc has evolved to become quite a comprehensive package, and therefore
this manual can be rather intimidating for new users. Bear in mind that PETSc can be used
efficiently before one understands all of the material presented here.
Furthermore, the definitive reference for any PETSc function is always
the online manual page.
Manual pages for all PETSc functions can be accessed at
<a class="reference external" href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/">www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation</a>.
The manual pages provide hyperlinked indices (organized by both concept
and routine name) to the tutorial examples and enable easy movement
among related topics.</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="https://code.visualstudio.com/">Visual Studio Code</a> , Eclipse, Emacs, and Vim users may find their development environment’s options for
searching in the source code (for example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">etags</span></code> <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ctags</span></code> for Emacs and Vim) are
extremely useful for exploring the PETSc source code. Details of these
feature are provided in <a class="reference internal" href="other.html#sec-emacs"><span class="std std-ref">Emacs Users</span></a>.</p>
<p>The complete PETSc distribution, manual pages, and additional information are available via the
<a class="reference external" href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc">PETSc home page</a>. The PETSc
home page also contains details regarding installation, new features and
changes in recent versions of PETSc, machines that we currently support,
and a frequently asked questions (FAQ) list.</p>
<p><strong>Note to Fortran Programmers</strong>: In most of the manual, the examples and calling sequences are given
for the C/C++ family of programming languages. However, Fortran
programmers can use all of the functionality of PETSc from Fortran,
with only minor differences in the user interface.
<a class="reference internal" href="fortran.html#chapter-fortran"><span class="std std-ref">PETSc for Fortran Users</span></a> provides a discussion of the differences between
using PETSc from Fortran and C, as well as several complete Fortran
examples.</p>
<p><strong>Note to Python Programmers</strong>: To program with PETSc in Python you need to install the
PETSc4py package developed by Lisandro Dalcin. This can be done by
configuring PETSc with the option <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--download-petsc4py</span></code>. See the
<a class="reference external" href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/installation.html">PETSc installation guide</a>
for more details.</p>

<div class="section" id="running-petsc-programs">
<span id="sec-running"></span><h2>Running PETSc Programs<a class="headerlink" href="#running-petsc-programs" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Before using PETSc, the user must first set the environmental variable
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PETSC_DIR</span></code>, indicating the full path of the PETSc home directory. For
example, under the UNIX bash shell a command of the form</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nb">export</span> <span class="nv">PETSC_DIR</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$HOME</span>/petsc
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>can be placed in the user’s <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.bashrc</span></code> or other startup file. In
addition, the user may need to set the environment variable
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PETSC_ARCH</span></code> to specify a particular configuration of the PETSc
libraries. Note that <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PETSC_ARCH</span></code> is just a name selected by the
installer to refer to the libraries compiled for a particular set of
compiler options and machine type. Using different values of
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PETSC_ARCH</span></code> allows one to switch between several different sets (say
debug and optimized) of libraries easily. To determine if you need to
set <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PETSC_ARCH</span></code>, look in the directory indicated by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PETSC_DIR</span></code>, if
there are subdirectories beginning with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">arch</span></code> then those
subdirectories give the possible values for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PETSC_ARCH</span></code>.</p>
<p>All PETSc programs use the MPI (Message Passing Interface) standard for
message-passing communication <span id="id1">[<a class="reference internal" href="#id201"><span>For94</span></a>]</span>. Thus, to
execute PETSc programs, users must know the procedure for beginning MPI
jobs on their selected computer system(s). For instance, when using the
<a class="reference external" href="https://www.mpich.org/">MPICH</a> implementation of MPI and many
others, the following command initiates a program that uses eight
processors:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>mpiexec -n <span class="m">8</span> ./petsc_program_name petsc_options
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>PETSc also comes with a script that automatically uses the correct
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mpiexec</span></code> for your configuration.</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="si">${</span><span class="nv">PETSC_DIR</span><span class="si">}</span>/lib/petsc/bin/petscmpiexec -n <span class="m">8</span> ./petsc_program_name petsc_options
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>All PETSc-compliant programs support the use of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-help</span></code>
option as well as the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-version</span></code> option.</p>
<p>Certain options are supported by all PETSc programs. We list a few
particularly useful ones below; a complete list can be obtained by
running any PETSc program with the option <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-help</span></code>.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-log_view</span></code> - summarize the program’s performance (see <a class="reference internal" href="profiling.html#ch-profiling"><span class="std std-ref">Profiling</span></a>)</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-fp_trap</span></code> - stop on floating-point exceptions; for example divide
by zero</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-malloc_dump</span></code> - enable memory tracing; dump list of unfreed memory
at conclusion of the run, see

<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-malloc_debug</span></code> - enable memory debugging (by default this is
activated for the debugging version of PETSc), see

been not previously initialized. In certain circumstances in which MPI
needs to be initialized directly (or is initialized by some other
library), the user can first call <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="http://www.mpich.org/static/docs/latest/www3/MPI_Init.html#MPI_Init">MPI_Init</a>()</span></code> (or have the other

<p>For those not familiar with MPI, a <em>communicator</em> is a way of indicating
a collection of processes that will be involved together in a
calculation or communication. Communicators have the variable type
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/MPI_Comm.html#MPI_Comm">MPI_Comm</a></span></code>. In most cases users can employ the communicator
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PETSC_COMM_WORLD.html#PETSC_COMM_WORLD">PETSC_COMM_WORLD</a></span></code> to indicate all processes in a given run and
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PETSC_COMM_SELF.html#PETSC_COMM_SELF">PETSC_COMM_SELF</a></span></code> to indicate a single process.</p>
<p>MPI provides routines for generating new communicators consisting of
subsets of processors, though most users rarely need to use these. The
book <em>Using MPI</em>, by Lusk, Gropp, and Skjellum
<span id="id2">[<a class="reference internal" href="#id292"><span>GLS94</span></a>]</span> provides an excellent introduction to the
concepts in MPI. See also the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpi/">MPI homepage</a>.
Note that PETSc users
need not program much message passing directly with MPI, but they must
be familiar with the basic concepts of message passing and distributed
memory computing.</p>
<p>All PETSc routines return a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscErrorCode.html#PetscErrorCode">PetscErrorCode</a></span></code>, which is an integer
indicating whether an error has occurred during the call. The error code
is set to be nonzero if an error has been detected; otherwise, it is
zero. For the C/C++ interface, the error variable is the routine’s
return value, while for the Fortran version, each PETSc routine has as
its final argument an integer error variable.</p>
<p>All PETSc programs should call <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscFinalize.html#PetscFinalize">PetscFinalize</a>()</span></code> as their final (or
nearly final) statement, as given below in the C/C++ and Fortran
formats, respectively:</p>
<div class="highlight-c notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">ierr</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscFinalize.html#PetscFinalize">PetscFinalize</a></span><span class="p">();</span>

<p>To help the user start using PETSc immediately, we begin with a simple
uniprocessor example that
solves the one-dimensional Laplacian problem with finite differences.
This sequential code, which can be found in
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$PETSC_DIR/src/ksp/ksp/tutorials/ex1.c</span></code>, illustrates the solution of
a linear system with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/KSP/KSP.html#KSP">KSP</a></span></code>, the interface to the preconditioners,
Krylov subspace methods, and direct linear solvers of PETSc. Following
the code we highlight a few of the most important parts of this example.</p>

<h3>Include Files<a class="headerlink" href="#include-files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The C/C++ include files for PETSc should be used via statements such as</p>

<p>where <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">petscksp.h</span></code> is the include file for the linear solver library.
Each PETSc program must specify an include file that corresponds to the
highest level PETSc objects needed within the program; all of the
required lower level include files are automatically included within the
higher level files. For example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">petscksp.h</span></code> includes <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">petscmat.h</span></code>
(matrices), <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">petscvec.h</span></code> (vectors), and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">petscsys.h</span></code> (base PETSc
file). The PETSc include files are located in the directory
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">${PETSC_DIR}/include</span></code>. See <a class="reference internal" href="fortran.html#sec-fortran-includes"><span class="std std-ref">Fortran Include Files</span></a>

<p>When running the debug version of the PETSc libraries, it does a great
deal of checking for memory corruption (writing outside of array bounds
etc). The macro <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/CHKMEMQ.html#CHKMEMQ">CHKMEMQ</a></span></code> can be called anywhere in the code to check
the current status of the memory for corruption. By putting several (or
many) of these macros into your code you can usually easily track down
in what small segment of your code the corruption has occured. One can
also use Valgrind to track down memory errors; see the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/faq.html">FAQ</a>.</p>

<span id="sec-parallel"></span><h3>Parallel Programming<a class="headerlink" href="#parallel-programming" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Since PETSc uses the message-passing model for parallel programming and
employs MPI for all interprocessor communication, the user is free to
employ MPI routines as needed throughout an application code. However,
by default the user is shielded from many of the details of message
passing within PETSc, since these are hidden within parallel objects,
such as vectors, matrices, and solvers. In addition, PETSc provides
tools such as generalized vector scatters/gathers to assist in the
management of parallel data.</p>
<p>Recall that the user must specify a communicator upon creation of any
PETSc object (such as a vector, matrix, or solver) to indicate the
processors over which the object is to be distributed. For example, as
mentioned above, some commands for matrix, vector, and linear solver
creation are:</p>

<p>The creation routines are collective over all processors in the
communicator; thus, all processors in the communicator <em>must</em> call the
creation routine. In addition, if a sequence of collective routines is
being used, they <em>must</em> be called in the same order on each processor.</p>
<p>The next example, given below,
illustrates the solution of a linear system in parallel. This code,
corresponding to
<cite>KSP Tutorial ex2 &lt;https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/src/ksp/ksp/tutorials/ex2.c.html&gt;</cite>,
handles the two-dimensional Laplacian discretized with finite
differences, where the linear system is again solved with KSP. The code
performs the same tasks as the sequential version within
<a class="reference internal" href="#sec-simple"><span class="std std-ref">Simple PETSc Examples</span></a>. Note that the user interface
for initiating the program, creating vectors and matrices, and solving
the linear system is <em>exactly</em> the same for the uniprocessor and
multiprocessor examples. The primary difference between the examples in
<a class="reference internal" href="#sec-simple"><span class="std std-ref">Simple PETSc Examples</span></a> and
here is that each processor forms only its
local part of the matrix and vectors in the parallel case.</p>

times, floating point operation (flop) rates, and message-passing
activity. <a class="reference internal" href="profiling.html#ch-profiling"><span class="std std-ref">Profiling</span></a> provides details about
profiling, including interpretation of the output data below.
This particular example involves
the solution of a linear system on one processor using GMRES and ILU.
The low floating point operation (flop) rates in this example are due to
the fact that the code solved a tiny system. We include this example
merely to demonstrate the ease of extracting performance information.</p>

<span id="sec-writing-application-codes"></span><h2>Writing Application Codes with PETSc<a class="headerlink" href="#writing-application-codes-with-petsc" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The examples throughout the library demonstrate the software usage and
can serve as templates for developing custom applications. We suggest
that new PETSc users examine programs in the directories
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">${PETSC_DIR}/src/&lt;library&gt;/tutorials</span></code> where <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;library&gt;</span></code> denotes any
of the PETSc libraries (listed in the following section), such as
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/SNES/SNES.html#SNES">SNES</a></span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/KSP/KSP.html#KSP">KSP</a></span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/TS/TS.html#TS">TS</a></span></code>. The manual pages located at
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">${PETSC_DIR}/docs/index.htm</span></code> or
<a class="reference external" href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/">https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/</a> provide links (organized by
both routine names and concepts) to the tutorial examples.</p>
<p>To write a new application program using PETSc, we suggest the following
procedure:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>Install and test PETSc according to the instructions at the PETSc web
site.</p></li>
<li><p>Make a working directory for your source code: for example,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mkdir</span> <span class="pre">$HOME/application</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>Change to that working directory; for
example,<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cd</span> <span class="pre">$HOME/application</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>Copy one of the examples in the directory that corresponds to the
class of problem of interest into your working directory, for
example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cp</span> <span class="pre">$PETSC_DIR/src/snes/tutorials/ex19.c</span> <span class="pre">ex19.c</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>Copy $PETSC_DIR/share/petsc/Makefile.user to your working directory,
for example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cp</span> <span class="pre">$PETSC_DIR/share/petsc/Makefile.user</span> <span class="pre">Makefile</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>Compile and run the example program, for example,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">make</span> <span class="pre">ex19;</span> <span class="pre">./ex19</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>Use the example program as a starting point for developing a custom
code.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>We highly recommend against the following since it requires changing
your makefile for each new configuration/computing system but if you do
not wish to include any PETSc utilities in your makefile, you can use
the following commands in the PETSc root directory to get the
information needed by your makefile:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>make getlinklibs getincludedirs getcflags getcxxflags getfortranflags getccompiler getfortrancompiler getcxxcompiler
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>All the libraries listed need to be linked into your executable and the
include directories and flags need to be passed to the compiler. Usually
this is done with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CFLAGS=&lt;list</span> <span class="pre">of</span> <span class="pre">-I</span> <span class="pre">and</span> <span class="pre">other</span> <span class="pre">flags&gt;</span></code> and
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FFLAGS=&lt;list</span> <span class="pre">of</span> <span class="pre">-I</span> <span class="pre">and</span> <span class="pre">other</span> <span class="pre">flags&gt;</span></code> in your makefile.</p>
