DMDAGetProcessorSubsets

Returns communicators consisting only of the processors in a DMDA adjacent in a particular dimension, corresponding to a logical plane in a 3D grid or a line in a 2D grid.

Synopsis

#include "petscdmda.h"   
PetscErrorCode DMDAGetProcessorSubsets(DM da, DMDirection dir, MPI_Comm *subcomm)

Collective; No Fortran Support

Input Parameters

• da - the DMDA

• dir - Cartesian direction, either DM_X, DM_Y, or DM_Z

Output Parameter

• subcomm - new communicator

Notes

This routine is useful for distributing one-dimensional data in a tensor product grid.

After use, comm should be freed with MPI_Comm_free()
