Libmesh uses one of several partitioning schemes to assign relatively contiguous blocks of elements to each processor. By default a multilevel graph partitioner is used. The degrees or freedom then are pretty well owned by the same processors that own the elements, the exception being at proce

Hi, As far as I understand, libmesh assembles the global stiffness matrix in parallel due to the fact that each local performs the assembly only on its own elements. And also in PETSc, the matrix assembly procedure will be efficient only when the entries are generated on the 'right' process. Thus
