[Trilinos-Users] Performance of InsertGlobalValue() in Epetra

[Williams, Alan B]

Andrea,

That is a large and unexpected performance difference.

I looked through the FECrsMatrix code and there is no function called exactly 'InsertGlobalValue'. Do you mean one of the overloaded 'InsertGlobalValues' functions? There are several of these, both in FECrsMatrix and its base class CrsMatrix. Can you tell which of these it is?

I'll set up a test of my own and attempt to reproduce this.
Alan
