PCASM

 Use the additive Schwarz method, each block is (approximately) solved with its own SLES object.

Options Database Keys

-pc_asm_truelocal - Activates PCASMSetUseTrueLocal()
-pc_asm_in_place - Activates in-place factorization
-pc_asm_blocks <blks> - Sets total blocks
-pc_asm_overlap <ovl> - Sets overlap
-pc_asm_type [basic,restrict,interpolate,none] - Sets ASM type

Notes: Each processor can have one or more blocks, but a block cannot be shared by more than one processor. Defaults to one block per processor.

To set options on the solvers for each block append -sub_ to all the SLES, KSP, and PC options database keys. For example, -sub_pc_type ilu -sub_pc_ilu_levels 1 -sub_ksp_type preonly

To set the options on the solvers seperate for each block call PCASMGetSubSLES() and set the options directly on the resulting SLES object (you can access its KSP and PC with SLESGetKSP() and SLESGetPC())
