1# Changes: Development

3% STYLE GUIDELINES:
4% * Capitalize sentences
5% * Use imperative, e.g., Add, Improve, Change, etc.
6% * Don't use a period (.) at the end of entries
7% * If multiple sentences are needed, use a period or semicolon to divide sentences, but not at the end of the final sentence

9```{rubric} General:
10```
11
12- Change behavior of `-options_left` when set to `true`: it no longer triggers a call to `PetscOptionsView()`
13- Change $PETSC_DIR/lib/petsc/bin/petscfreesharedmemory to $PETSC_DIR/lib/petsc/bin/petscfreesharedmemory.sh
14
15```{rubric} Configure/Build:
16```
17
18- Make `SYCL` a `devicePackage`, i.e., builds `--with-sycl` now have `PETSC_HAVE_DEVICE` defined
19- Add the option `--with-devicelanguage` to compile `PetscDevice` code using either a C or C++ compiler
20- Add `Caliper`, an instrumentation and performance profiling library that can be used to profile `Hypre`.
21- Add typing stubs for the Python extension module `petsc4py.PETSc`.
22
23```{rubric} Sys:
24```
25
26- Add `PetscCallHYPRE()` to check HYPRE error codes and print error messages on failure
27
28
29```{rubric} Event Logging:
30```
31
32- Add two approaches for GPU energy monitoring:  `-log_view_gpu_energy` and `-log_view_gpu_energy_meter`
33- Add API `PetscLogGpuEnergy()`, `PetscLogGpuEnergyMeter()`, `PetscLogGpuEnergyMeterBegin()` and `PetscLogGpuEnergyMeterEnd()` for GPU energy monitoring
34
35```{rubric} PetscViewer:
36```
37
38-  Change the final argument of `PetscViewerGLVisSetFields()` to `PetscCtxDestroyFn *`. This means the destroy function must dereference the argument before operating on it
39
40```{rubric} PetscDraw:
41```
42
43```{rubric} AO:
44```
45
46```{rubric} IS:
47```
48
49```{rubric} VecScatter / PetscSF:
50```
51
52```{rubric} PF:
53```
54
55```{rubric} Vec:
56```
57
58```{rubric} PetscSection:
59```
60
61```{rubric} PetscPartitioner:
62```
63
64```{rubric} Mat:
65```
66
67- Change the `destroy()` function argument of `MatShellSetMatProductOperation()` to type `PetscCtxDestroyFn *`. This means the destroy function must dereference the argument before operating on it
68- Remove `MatMissingDiagonal()`. Developers should use `MatGetDiagonalMarkers_SeqXXX()` when the functionality is needed
69- Change `MatSetOption(A, MAT_HERMITIAN, PETSC_TRUE)` for `MatSBAIJ` to no longer automatically set the option `MAT_SYMMETRIC` to `PETSC_FALSE`. It is now the duty of the user to call `MatSetOption(A, MAT_SYMMETRIC, PETSC_FALSE)` if a `MatSBAIJ` is Hermitian but not symmetric
70
71```{rubric} MatCoarsen:
72```
73
74```{rubric} PC:
75```
76
77- Add multi-precision support for MUMPS. One could use `-pc_precision <single, double>` to set the precision to be used by MUMPS, which can be different from `PetscScalar`'s precision
78- Add support for MUMPS out-of-core facility with the option `-mat_mumps_ooc_tmpdir <dir>` and new functions `MatMumpsSetOocTmpDir()`, `MatMumpsGetOocTmpDir()`
79
80```{rubric} KSP:
81```
82
83- Remove `KSPHPDDMPrecision` in favor of `PetscPrecision`
84
85```{rubric} SNES:
86```
87
88- Change the `destroy()` function argument of `SNESSetConvergenceTest()` to type `PetscCtxDestroyFn *`. This means the destroy function must dereference the argument before operating on it
89- Add `SNESSetObjectiveDomainError()`
90- Change `SNES_DIVERGED_FNORM_NAN` to `SNES_DIVERGED_FUNCTION_NANORINF`
91- Add `SNES_DIVERGED_OBJECTIVE_NANORINF`
92- Add `SNES_DIVERGED_OBJECTIVE_DOMAIN`
93- Add developer functions `SNESCheckFunctionDomainError()`, `SNESLineSearchCheckFunctionDomainError()`, `SNESCheckObjectiveDomainError()`, `SNESLineSearchCheckObjectiveDomainError()`, `SNESCheckJacobianDomainError()`, and `SNESLineSearchCheckJacobianDomainError()`
94
95```{rubric} SNESLineSearch:
96```
97
98```{rubric} TS:
99```
100
101- Add `TSPseudoComputeFunction()` to get nonlinear residual while avoiding recalculation if possible
102- Remove unused `TSPseudoVerifyTimeStepDefault()`
103- Remove `TSPseudoComputeTimeStep()` and `TSPseudoVerifyTimeStep()`
104- Change the `destroy()` function argument of `TSTrajectorySetTransform()` to type `PetscCtxDestroyFn *`. This means the destroy function must dereference the argument before operating on it
105- Correct option `-ts_max_reject` to `-ts_max_step_rejections`
106- Correct option `-ts_dt` to `-ts_time_step`
107
108```{rubric} TAO:
109```
110
111```{rubric} PetscRegressor:
112```
113
114```{rubric} DM/DA:
115```
116
117-  Change the final argument of `DMShellSetDestroyContext()` to `PetscCtxDestroyFn *`. This means the destroy function must dereference the argument before operating on it
118
119```{rubric} DMSwarm:
120```
121
122```{rubric} DMPlex:
123```
124
125- Add `DMPlexVecGetClosureAtDepth()`
126- Add an extra communicator argument to `DMPlexFilter()` to allow extracting local meshes
127- Add `DMPlexGetLETKFLocalizationMatrix` to compute localization weight matrix for LETKF
128
129```{rubric} FE/FV:
130```
131
132```{rubric} DMNetwork:
133```
134
135```{rubric} DMStag:
136```
137
138```{rubric} DT:
139```
140
141```{rubric} Fortran:
142```
143
144- Replace `./configure` option `--with-mpi-f90module-visibility` with `--with-mpi-ftn-module=<mpi or mpi_f08>`
145- Add `PETSC_INT_KIND` and `PETSC_MPIINT_KIND`
146- Fortran code should now use `MPIU_Comm` instead of `MPI_Comm`, and similarly for other MPI types, see section "Fortran and MPI" in the users guide
147- Fortran interface definitions are now automatically generated for all functions that take context variable arguments, represented in the C source code with a type of `PetscCtx`, allowing the use of any Fortran derived type (or PETSc object) as the context
148- For all PETSc functions `XXXGetYYY()` that return a context variable as an argument, represented in the C source code with an argument type of `PetscCtxRt`, a macro is generated used with `Interface_XXXGetYYY(AppCtx)` which tells the Fortran compiler that a pointer to that derived type `type(AppCtx)` is returned from the Fortran version of `XXXGetYYY()`.
