FMS Printing Parameter IPRA

Data Type

Default Value

DESCRIPTION:

The following is a detail description of each option. The value of IPRA you specify is obtained by adding together the numeric value of each option you select. Because these numeric values are a power of 2, they have the effect of setting bits in IPRA.

• 0
  No output from matrix assembly is printed.

• +1
  Start and stop timing is printed. The following is an example:

   START OF FMS MATRIX ASSEMBLY
   END   OF FMS MATRIX ASSEMBLY.
   TIME(SEC): CPU   =       0.314,        WALL=       0.340
  

• +2
  Timing information is printed for the assembly of each matrix segment. The following is an example:

   F M S     M A T R I X     A S S E M B L Y
   <----FUNCTION--->   <-EQUATIONS->     <-CPU  TIME(SEC)->     <-WALL TIME(SEC)->
                       FIRST    LAST     DELTA        TOTAL     DELTA        TOTAL
   MATRIX ASSEMBLY         1     224     0.057        0.057     0.096        0.096
   MATRIX ASSEMBLY       225     400     0.054        0.110     0.069        0.165
   MATRIX ASSEMBLY       401     576     0.052        0.162     0.070        0.235
   MATRIX ASSEMBLY       577     752     0.048        0.210     0.062        0.298
   MATRIX ASSEMBLY       753     928     0.062        0.272     0.075        0.373
   MATRIX ASSEMBLY       929    1000     0.026        0.299     0.044        0.417
  

• +4
  Right-hand side vectors {RHS} are printed after assembly.

• +8
  The element matrices [Si] and element vectors {Vi} are printed before assembly.

• +64
  The matrix diagonals [D] are printed after assembly.

• +256
  The lower triangle matrix [AL] and upper triangle matrix [AU] (nonsymmetric) are printed after assembly.

• +2048
  The number of terms within the matrix profile are counted. This value becomes available as the FMS parameter ATERMS.

CAUTION: For large problems this parameter can produce a lot of output. You can use the FMS Parameters NEQPR1 and NEQPR2 to create a window on the matrix and vector terms printed.
