ISCreateBlock#

Creates a data structure for an index set containing a list of integers. Each integer represents a fixed block size set of indices.

Synopsis#

#include "petscis.h"     
PetscErrorCode ISCreateBlock(MPI_Comm comm, PetscInt bs, PetscInt n, const PetscInt idx[], PetscCopyMode mode, IS *is)

Collective

Input Parameters#

  • comm - the MPI communicator

  • bs - number of elements in each block

  • n - the length of the index set (the number of blocks)

  • idx - the list of integers, one for each block, the integers contain the index of the first entry of each block divided by the block size

  • mode - see PetscCopyMode, only PETSC_COPY_VALUES and PETSC_OWN_POINTER are supported in this routine

Output Parameter#

  • is - the new index set

Notes#

When the communicator is not MPI_COMM_SELF, the operations on the index sets, IS, are NOT conceptually the same as MPI_Group operations. The index sets are then distributed sets of indices and thus certain operations on them are collective.

The routine ISBlockSetIndices() can be used to provide the indices to a preexisting block IS

Example#

If you wish to index the values {0,1,6,7}, then use a block size of 2 and idx of {0,3}.
