PETSc version 3.17.5

VecCreateMPIHIPWithArray

Creates a parallel, array-style vector, where the user provides the GPU array space to store the vector values.

#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode  VecCreateMPIHIPWithArray(MPI_Comm comm,PetscInt bs,PetscInt n,PetscInt N,const PetscScalar array[],Vec *vv)

Collective

	comm	- the MPI communicator to use
	bs	- block size, same meaning as VecSetBlockSize()
	n	- local vector length, cannot be PETSC_DECIDE
	N	- global vector length (or PETSC_DECIDE to have calculated)
	array	- the user provided GPU array to store the vector values

- the vector

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

If the user-provided array is NULL, then VecHIPPlaceArray() can be used at a later stage to SET the array for storing the vector values.

PETSc does NOT free the array when the vector is destroyed via VecDestroy(). The user should not free the array until the vector is destroyed.
