VecCreateGhostWithArray

Creates a parallel vector with ghost padding on each processor; the caller allocates the array space.

Synopsis

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

Input Parameters

comm - the MPI communicator to use 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 points Many br
ghosts - global indices of ghost points (or NULL if not needed), these do not need to be in increasing order (sorted) Many br
array - the space to store the vector values (as long as n + nghost) 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

This also automatically sets the ISLocalToGlobalMapping() for this vector. Many br
