DMCreateLocalVector#

Creates a local vector from a DM object.

Synopsis#

#include "petscdm.h"          
#include "petscdmlabel.h"     
#include "petscds.h"     
PetscErrorCode DMCreateLocalVector(DM dm, Vec *vec)

Not Collective

Input Parameter#

dm - the DM object

Output Parameter#

vec - the local vector

Note#

A local vector usually has ghost locations that contain values that are owned by different MPI ranks. A global vector has no ghost locations.
