dss_factor_real export factorisation

[Twoot]

Hello,

I am working on a method where I need the factorisation of the coefficient matrix.

Right now I call the routine dss_factor_real( handle, opt, rValues ) in C which creates a factorisation.

Can anybody tell me:

1. How is the factorisation stored within the Intel solver datastructure?
2. Is it possible to export the factorisation for usage elsewhere in the code?

Thanks in advance.

hello, 

1. we don't explore some details about this internal structure and

2. there is only one option for pardiso API ( not dss ) - `to store/restore internal Pardiso's structures to/from file and stop/continue execution ...

see Intel Pardiso documentation for details.

Thank you for your reply.

So even if I store the Pardiso structure to file and stop execution, it would not be possible to explicitely use the factorisation in my own program?

explicitly - not possible at this moment.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

In the following documentation: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-support-to-new-functionality-schur-complement

I found that the functionality that I was trying to implement is already implemented. Could you tell me if it is possible to use this functionality with the DSS interface to PARDSIO?

If not, is there a straight-forward way to migrate from the DSS interface to the more elaborate PARDISO API?

Thanks in advance.
