BLUP90IOD2 - Optimized version of BLUP90IOD with options for block diagonal preconditioner and direct solving Written by Shogo Tsuruta, University of Georgia The following lines can be added at the end of parameter file: OPTION conv_crit 1e-10 set convergence criterion to given level (default = 1e-12) OPTION maxrounds 10000 set maximum number of rounds to given number (default = 5000) OPTION solv_method FSPAK selection initial solutions by FSPAK or DIRECT (default = DIRECT) OPTION blksize 3 set block size for preconditioner (default = 1) OPTION init_eq 10 set the number of effects to be solved directly (default = 0) OPTION cont 1 to restart the program from the previous solutions OPTION tol 1d-12 tolerance for G-inverse (default = 1d-12) OPTION avgeps 30 average eps round as a convergence criterion (default = 1) OPTION missing -1 set the missing value (default 0).
