Notes

PETSc automatically logs library events if the code has been compiled with -DPETSC_USE_LOG (which is the default) and -log, -log_summary, or -log_all are specified. PetscLogEventRegister() is intended for logging user events to supplement this PETSc information.

PETSc can gather data for use with the utilities Upshot/Nupshot (part of the MPICH distribution). If PETSc has been compiled with flag -DPETSC_HAVE_MPE (MPE is an additional utility within MPICH), the user can employ another command line option, -log_mpe, to create a logfile, "mpe.log", which can be visualized Upshot/Nupshot.
