Detailed Description

Declaration and definition of linear solver factory, and "factory of factories".

Warning

This header file is NOT currently part of the public interface of Trilinos. It or its contents may change or disappear at any time.

Tpetra::Details::getLinearSolver, Tpetra::Details::registerLinearSolverFactory, and Tpetra::Details::LinearSolverFactory implement the Dependency Inversion and Injection (DII) pattern, as applied to "linear solvers." A linear solver solves or helps solve linear system(s) AX=B. Examples include sparse direct solvers, iterative solvers, and preconditioners for iterative solvers.

DII naturally admits hierarchical run-time options, as in e.g., Teuchos::ParameterList. This lets solvers create inner solvers in an arbitrarily nested way, following the arbitrary nesting of the Teuchos::ParameterList.

DII works well when a ParameterList can express all the data that a solver might need. However, some solvers need or may benefit from additional data. For example, algebraic multigrid can use mesh coordinates, and a sparse factorization can use an initial permutation. Such data do not fit naturally in a Teuchos::ParameterList.

Note

To developers: The LinearSolver and LinearSolverFactory interfaces, and the LinearSolverFactoryRepository interface and implementation must live in the bottom-most (most upstream) package from all solvers that depend on it. Solver defines an interface for a solver, and LinearSolverFactory defines an interface for a "factory" that knows how to create solvers. Each solver package defines its own solvers, and its own factory that knows how to create all the solvers in a given package.
