Hello petsc-users, I'm currently trying the basic functionality of PETSc and reading some of the tutorial codes.
Now I'd like to ask you, whether you think that PETSc is also suitable for small, local vector computations. Something like calculating point-to-point distance in 3D etc? I guess it would be hard to read as there are probably a lot of steps (e.g. creating an index array, AssemblyBegin and AssemblyEnd) and due to the lack of overloaded operators. Of course I could now write a C++ class which will serve as a nice wrapper for PETSc, but it seems to me that the PETSc objects have a lot of overhead and are really developed for solving and assembling huge equation systems. So, what do you recommend? Using PETSc for the large-scale computations and some simple Vec and Mat class for small, local stuff? Thanks in advance!
