VecCreateMPI

Creates a parallel vector.

Synopsis

#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode VecCreateMPI(MPI_Comm comm, PetscInt n, PetscInt N, Vec *v)

Collective

Input Parameters

• comm - the MPI communicator to use

• n - local vector length (or PETSC_DECIDE to have calculated if N is given)

• N - global vector length (or PETSC_DETERMINE to have calculated if n is given)

Output Parameter

• v - the vector

Notes

It is recommended to use VecCreateFromOptions() instead of this routine

Use VecDuplicate() or VecDuplicateVecs() to form additional vectors of the same type as an existing vector.

If n is not PETSC_DECIDE, then the value determines the PetscLayout of the vector and the ranges returned by VecGetOwnershipRange() and VecGetOwnershipRanges()
