Belos and Epetra: hints

0 votes

Dear all,

Can you point me in the right direction on what to read to use Belos/Epetra with Fenics?

I've played with it, and I'd very much be able to use it to solve problems with multiple values with Epetra_MultiVector.

Any pointers are very much appreciated!

Thanks!

The development version of DOLFIN has experimental support for Tpetra and Belos. It will be available in the forthcoming 1.6 release, but remains experimental.

We won't be providing Epetra support in DOLFIN.

Ok, I can deal with Tpetra, it's completely OK.

Is there any documentation I can read? I'd like to weigh the possibility of contributing to this effort. Tpetra and Belos are very dear to me! :)

Thanks!

Download the 1.6 release (out soon), and you should be able to use TpetraVector TpetraMatrix and BelosKrylovSolver classes - actually, they need some testing, so that would be a useful contribution!

Can't wait to test them. Thanks!
