<A NAME="MatCreateBAIJ"><H1>MatCreateBAIJ</H1></A>
Creates a sparse parallel matrix in block AIJ format (block compressed row). For good matrix assembly performance the user should preallocate the matrix storage by setting the parameters d_nz (or d_nnz) and o_nz (or o_nnz). By setting these parameters accurately, performance can be increased by more than a factor of 50.

If the *_nnz parameter is given then the *_nz parameter is ignored
<P>
A nonzero block is any block that as 1 or more nonzeros in it
<P>
The user MUST specify either the local or global matrix dimensions
(possibly both).
<P>
If <A HREF="../Sys/PETSC_DECIDE.html#PETSC_DECIDE">PETSC_DECIDE</A> or <A HREF="../Sys/PETSC_DETERMINE.html#PETSC_DETERMINE">PETSC_DETERMINE</A> is used for a particular argument on one processor
than it must be used on all processors that share the object for that argument.
<P>
<H3><FONT COLOR="#CC3333">Storage Information</FONT></H3>
For a square global matrix we define each processor's diagonal portion
to be its local rows and the corresponding columns (a square submatrix);
each processor's off-diagonal portion encompasses the remainder of the
local matrix (a rectangular submatrix).
<P>
The user can specify preallocated storage for the diagonal part of
the local submatrix with either d_nz or d_nnz (not both). Set
d_nz=<A HREF="../Sys/PETSC_DEFAULT.html#PETSC_DEFAULT">PETSC_DEFAULT</A> and d_nnz=NULL for PETSc to control dynamic
memory allocation. Likewise, specify preallocated storage for the
off-diagonal part of the local submatrix with o_nz or o_nnz (not both).
<P>
Consider a processor that owns rows 3, 4 and 5 of a parallel matrix. In
the figure below we depict these three local rows and all columns (0-11).
<P>
<PRE>
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
--------------------------
row 3 |o o o d d d o o o o o o
row 4 |o o o d d d o o o o o o
row 5 |o o o d d d o o o o o o
--------------------------
</PRE>
<P>
Thus, any entries in the d locations are stored in the d (diagonal)
submatrix, and any entries in the o locations are stored in the
o (off-diagonal) submatrix. Note that the d and the o submatrices are
stored simply in the <A HREF="../Mat/MATSEQBAIJ.html#MATSEQBAIJ">MATSEQBAIJ</A> format for compressed row storage.
<P>
Now d_nz should indicate the number of block nonzeros per row in the d matrix,
and o_nz should indicate the number of block nonzeros per row in the o matrix.
In general, for PDE problems in which most nonzeros are near the diagonal,
one expects d_nz >> o_nz. For large problems you MUST preallocate memory
or you will get TERRIBLE performance; see the users' manual chapter on
matrices.
