Hi all, I am sure the subject line wasn?t too explanatory and so here goes.
I have a system which already has a Vec object created and distributed on many processors based on domain decomposition. I could have several such systems, each with a solution vector and a residual vector pertaining to its physics. Now, can I create a global vector which would just be pointers to the already existing vectors but from PETSc's point of view, appears to be a globally valid, (and possibly weirdly) distributed vector. Such an option will save the memory needed for the global vector and eliminates errors as to synchronization of the solution, residuals for the systems. I was reading the documentation and found the PetscMap data structure. But I am not entirely sure if this is what I am looking for. I hope that makes sense. I would appreciate any help you can provide to point me in the right direction. Cheers, Vijay No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
