Detailed Description

"Factory" for creating Ifpack2 preconditioners.

This class' create() method lets users create an instance of any Ifpack2 preconditioner.

The create() method has three arguments:

a string, indicating the type of preconditioner to compute;
a pointer to a Tpetra::RowMatrix, representing the matrix to be used to define the preconditioner;
an optional integer (defaults to 0), that specifies the amount of overlap between processes (if the input matrix is distributed over multiple processes).

The first argument can assume the following values:

"DIAGONAL": returns an instance of Ifpack2::Diagonal.
"RELAXATION": returns an instance of Ifpack2::Relaxation.
"CHEBYSHEV": returns an instance of Ifpack2::Chebyshev (overlap is ignored).
"ILUT": returns an instance of Ifpack2::ILUT.
"MDF": returns an instance of Ifpack2::MDF.
"RILUK": returns an instance of Ifpack2::RILUK.
"RBILUK": returns an instance of Ifpack2::Experimental::RBILUK.

The following fragment of code shows the basic usage of this class.

#include "Ifpack2_Factory.hpp"
// ...
using Teuchos::ParameterList;
using Teuchos::RCP;
typedef double Scalar;
typedef Tpetra::CrsMatrix<Scalar> crs_matrix_type;
typedef Ifpack2::Preconditioner<Scalar> prec_type;
// ...
Ifpack2::Factory factory;
RCP<crs_matrix_type> A;
// ... fill A and call fillComplete() ...
// Use ILUT (incomplete LU with thresholding) on each process.
const std::string precType = "ILUT";
RCP<prec_type> prec = factory.create (precType, A);
ParameterList params;
params.set ("fact: ilut level-of-fill", 5.0); // ILUT(fill=5, drop=0)
prec->setParameters (params);
prec->initialize ();
prec->compute ();
// now prec can be used as a preconditioner

inlinestatic

Create an instance of Ifpack2_Preconditioner given the string name of the preconditioner type.

Parameters

precType	[in] Name of preconditioner type to be created.
matrix	[in] Matrix used to define the preconditioner

Throw an exception if the preconditioner with that input name does not exist. Otherwise, return a newly created preconditioner object.
