% \section{Preconditioners}
\label{sec:psprecs}
The base PSBLAS library contains the implementation of two simple
preconditioning techniques:
\begin{itemize}
\item Diagonal Scaling
\item Block Jacobi with ILU(0) factorization
%% \item Additive Schwarz with the Restricted Additive Schwarz and
%% Additive Schwarz with Harmonic extensions;
\end{itemize}
The supporting data type and subroutine interfaces are defined in the
module \verb|psb_prec_mod|.
The old interfaces \verb|psb_precinit| and \verb|psb_precbld| are still supported for
backward compatibility
%% We also provide a companion package of multi-level Additive
%% Schwarz preconditioners called MD2P4; this is actually a family of
%% preconditioners since there is the possibility to choose between
%% many variants, and is currently in an experimental stateIts
%% documentation is planned to appear after stabilization of the
%% package, which will characterize release 2.1 of our library.

{\par\noindent\large\bfseries Notes}
%% The PSBLAS 2.0 contains a number of preconditioners, ranging from a
%% simple diagonal scaling to 2-level domain decomposition. These
%% preconditioners may use the SuperLU or the UMFPACK software, if
%% installed; see~\cite{SUPERLU,UMFPACK}.
Legal inputs to this subroutine are interpreted depending on the
$ptype$ string as follows\footnote{The string is case-insensitive}:
\begin{description}
\item[NONE] No preconditioning, i.e. the preconditioner is just a copy
operator.
\item[DIAG] Diagonal scaling; each entry of the input vector is
multiplied by the reciprocal of the sum of the absolute values of
the coefficients in the corresponding row of matrix $A$;
\item[BJAC] Precondition by a factorization of the
block-diagonal of matrix $A$, where block boundaries are determined
by the data allocation boundaries for each process; requires no
communication. Only the incomplete factorization $ILU(0)$ is
currently implemented.
