VecCreateGhostBlock

Creates a parallel vector with ghost padding on each processor. The indicing of the ghost points is done with blocks.

Synopsis

#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode  VecCreateGhostBlock(MPI_Comm comm,PetscInt bs,PetscInt n,PetscInt N,PetscInt nghost,const PetscInt ghosts[],Vec *vv)
Collective on MPI_Comm Many br

Input Parameters

comm - the MPI communicator to use Many br
bs - the block size Many br
n - local vector length Many br
N - global vector length (or PETSC_DECIDE to have calculated if n is given) Many br
nghost - number of local ghost blocks Many br
ghosts - global indices of ghost blocks, counts are by block, not by individual index, these do not need to be in increasing order (sorted) Many br

Output Parameter

vv -the global vector representation (without ghost points as part of vector) Many br

Notes

Use VecGhostGetLocalForm() to access the local, ghosted representation Many brof the vector. Many br

n is the local vector size (total local size not the number of blocks) while nghost Many bris the number of blocks in the ghost portion, i.e. the number of elements in the ghost Many brportion is bs*nghost Many br
