   3/99 Modified by Stephen Barnard to support SPAI version 3.0
*/

/*
      Provides an interface to the SPAI Sparse Approximate Inverse Preconditioner
   Code written by Stephen Barnard.

      Note: there is some BAD memory bleeding below!

      This code needs work

   1) get rid of all memory bleeding
   2) fix PETSc/interface so that it gets if the matrix is symmetric from the matrix
      rather than having the sp flag for PC_SPAI
   3) fix to set the block size based on the matrix block size

  PCSPAISetEpsilon -- Set the tolerance for the SPAI preconditioner

  Input Parameters:
+ pc - the preconditioner
- eps - epsilon (default .4)

  Notes:
    Espilon must be between 0 and 1. It controls the
                 quality of the approximation of M to the inverse of
                 A. Higher values of epsilon lead to more work, more
                 fill, and usually better preconditioners. In many
                 cases the best choice of epsilon is the one that
                 divides the total solution time equally between the
                 preconditioner and the solver.

  PCSPAISetBlockSize - set the block size for the SPAI preconditioner

  Input Parameters:
+ pc - the preconditioner
- n - block size (default 1)

  Notes:
    A block
                 size of 1 treats A as a matrix of scalar elements. A
                 block size of s > 1 treats A as a matrix of sxs
                 blocks. A block size of 0 treats A as a matrix with
                 variable sized blocks, which are determined by
                 searching for dense square diagonal blocks in A.
                 This can be very effective for finite-element
                 matrices.

                 SPAI will convert A to block form, use a block
                 version of the preconditioner algorithm, and then
                 convert the result back to scalar form.

                 In many cases the a block-size parameter other than 1
                 can lead to very significant improvement in
                 performance.
