<P>
IMPORTANT: If you run with, for example, 3 blocks on 1 processor or 3 blocks on 3 processors you
will get a different convergence rate due to the default option of -pc_gasm_type restrict. Use
-pc_gasm_type basic to use the standard GASM.
<P>
Notes: Each processor can have one or more blocks, but a block cannot be shared by more
than one processor. Defaults to one block per processor.
<P>
To set options on the solvers for each block append -sub_ to all the <A HREF="../KSP/KSP.html#KSP">KSP</A>, and <A HREF="../PC/PC.html#PC">PC</A>
options database keys. For example, -sub_pc_type ilu -sub_pc_factor_levels 1 -sub_ksp_type preonly
<P>
To set the options on the solvers separate for each block call <A HREF="../PC/PCGASMGetSubKSP.html#PCGASMGetSubKSP">PCGASMGetSubKSP</A>()
and set the options directly on the resulting <A HREF="../KSP/KSP.html#KSP">KSP</A> object (you can access its <A HREF="../PC/PC.html#PC">PC</A>
with <A HREF="../KSP/KSPGetPC.html#KSPGetPC">KSPGetPC</A>())
