Dear all,<br>
<div class="moz-forward-container"> <br>
I am trying to simulate a time-dependent PDE on a fairly large 2D
domain. <br>
<br>
I use the BCGS_AMG_SSOR linear solver for parallel computations,
in combination with Newton method, <br>
Dune::PDELab::ISTLBackend_BCGS_AMG_SSOR<IGO> LS;<br>
LS ls(gfs,5000,0, <u><i>false</i></u>, true);<br>
<br>
I am using dune 2.4 version.<br>
I noticed that if I do not reuse the matrix in LS then I
experience massive memory leaks. For reference, I have 64 GB RAM
and a swap of 128 GB, and even then I run out of memory within
just a quarter way through my simulation!<br>
But if I reuse the matrix (i.e., LS ls(gfs,5000,0, <u><i>true</i></u>,
true)), I no longer get the memory leak issue, but the simulation
becomes painfully slow. It starts out at normal speed, but gets
progressively slower, to a point where it is essentially useless.<br>
<br>
Is this normal? I am wondering if anyone can suggest a fix or an
alternative for my problem. <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
warm wishes, Shubhangi<br>
