MatMatMatMult#
Performs matrix-matrix-matrix multiplication D=ABC.
Synopsis#
#include "petscmat.h"
PetscErrorCode MatMatMatMult(Mat A, Mat B, Mat C, MatReuse scall, PetscReal fill, Mat *D)
Neighbor-wise Collective
Input Parameters#
A - the left matrix
B - the middle matrix
C - the right matrix
scall - either
MAT_INITIAL_MATRIXorMAT_REUSE_MATRIXfill - expected fill as ratio of nnz(D)/(nnz(A) + nnz(B)+nnz(C)), use
PETSC_DEFAULTif you do not have a good estimate if the result is a dense matrix this is irrelevant
Output Parameter#
D - the product matrix
Notes#
Unless scall is MAT_REUSE_MATRIX D will be created.
MAT_REUSE_MATRIX can only be used if the matrices A, B, and C have the same nonzero pattern as in the previous call
This routine is shorthand for using MatProductCreate() with the MatProductType of MATPRODUCT_ABC
To determine the correct fill value, run with -info and search for the string “Fill ratio” to see the value actually needed.
If you have many matrices with the same non-zero structure to multiply, you
should use MAT_REUSE_MATRIX in all calls but the first
