# PETSC_COMM_WORLD

the equivalent of the MPI_COMM_WORLD communicator which represents all the processs that PETSc knows about. Many br

Notes: By default PETSC_COMM_WORLD and MPI_COMM_WORLD are identical unless you wish to Many brrun PETSc on ONLY a subset of MPI_COMM_WORLD. In that case create your new (smaller) Many brcommunicator, call it, say comm, and set PETSC_COMM_WORLD = comm BEFORE calling Many brPetscInitialize(), but after MPI_Init() has been called. Many br

The value of PETSC_COMM_WORLD should never be USED/accessed before PetscInitialize() Many bris called because it may not have a valid value yet. Many br
