\subsection{Description}

During this step, \pastix{} will simulate factorization and decide
where to assign each part of the matrix.\\
More details can be read in \hyperref[blend]{\ref{blend}}

\subsection{Parameters}

\begin{description}
\item[\iparm{IPARM\_MIN\_BLOCKSIZE}~:] Minimum size of the column
  blocks computed in blend;
\item[\iparm{IPARM\_MAX\_BLOCKSIZE}~:] Maximum size of the column
  blocks computed in blend.
\end{description}


\subsection{Output}

\begin{description}
\item[\dparm{DPARM\_ANALYZE\_TIME}~:] time to compute analyze step,

\item[\dparm{DPARM\_PRED\_FACT\_TIME}~:] predicted factorization time
  (with IBM PWR5 ESSL). 
\end{description}
