# dolfinx-scaling-test(1)

solvers for testing the parallel performance of DOLFIN-X

## NAME

dolfinx-scaling-test - solvers for testing the parallel performance of DOLFIN-X

## DESCRIPTION

This command runs solvers for testing the parallel performance of DOLFIN-X and the underlying linear solvers. It tests elliptic equations - Poisson equation and elasticity - in three dimensions.

### Allowed options:

- **-h** \[ **--help** \]

  print usage message

**--problem\_type** arg (=poisson) problem (poisson or elasticity)

- **--mesh\_type** arg (=cube)

  mesh (cube or unstructured)

- **--scaling\_type** arg (=weak)

  scaling (weak or strong)

- **--output** arg

  output directory (no output unless this is set)

- **--ndofs** arg (=50000)

  number of degrees of freedom
