# PCBJACOBI

Use block Jacobi preconditioning, each block is (approximately) solved with its own KSP object.

### Options Database Keys

-pc_bjacobi_truelocal -Activates PCBJacobiSetUseTrueLocal()

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 KSP, 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 PCBJacobiGetSubKSP() and set the options directly on the resulting KSP object (you can access its PC KSPGetPC())
