PetscErrorCode  DMDAGetProcessorSubsets(DM da, DMDADirection dir, MPI_Comm *subcomm)
Collective on DMDA

Input Parameters

da - the distributed array
dir - Cartesian direction, either DMDA_X, DMDA_Y, or DMDA_Z

Output Parameters

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()

Not supported from Fortran
