ISCreate#

Creates an index set object. IS are objects used to do efficient indexing into other data structures such as Vec and Mat

Synopsis#

#include "petscis.h"  
PetscErrorCode ISCreate(MPI_Comm comm, IS *is)

Collective

Input Parameter#

  • comm - the MPI communicator

Output Parameter#

  • is - the new index set

Notes#

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