<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve come across a problem with using ghosted vectors on GPUs, using CUDA backend. This is with the latest PETSc release version (3.18.5).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I saw that there is already an issue on Gitlab regarding this issue (<a href="https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/issues/1096">https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/issues/1096</a>), and also an associated branch and merge request (<a href="https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/4542">https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/4542</a>),
but there doesn’t seem to have been any activity on the merge request for about a year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are there any plans to get this fix for VecCreateGhost on GPUs into the main PETSc branch?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
