Trying to make a small example for reproducing I could figure out my mistake in the code (totally unrelated to the question). MatPermute(..) just works fine.

Is this possible with MatPermute(…)? Yes, this works with MatPermute(). Could you send this small example so I can reproduce it? To illustrate here is how an index set would look like for a matrix with M=35 on 2 CPU’s. Amongst other things I intend to swap the first and last row here. [0] Number of indices in set 24 [0] 0 34 [0] 1 1 [0] 2 2 [0] 3 3 [0] 4 4 [0] 5 5 [0] 6 6 [0] 7 7 [0] 8 15 [0] 9 16 [0] 10 11 [0] 11 8 [0] 12 10 [0] 13 21 [0] 14 9 [0] 15 12 [0] 16 13 [0] 17 14 [0] 18 17 [0] 19 18 [0] 20 19 [0] 21 20 [0] 22 22 [0] 23 23 [1] Number of indices in set 11 [1] 0 24 [1] 1 25 [1] 2 26 [1] 3 27 [1] 4 28 [1] 5 29 [1] 6 30 [1] 7 31 [1] 8 32 [1] 9 33 [1] 10 0 Instead of exchanging the first and last row it seems to replace them with zeros only. If this can’t be done with MatPermute how could it be done? You could also use MatGetSubMatrix().
