Flop counting convention: 1 flop = 1 real number operation of type 
(multiply/divide/add/subtract)
                            e.g., VecAXPY() for real vectors of length N 
--> 2N flops
                            and VecAXPY() for complex vectors of length 
N --> 8N flops

Phase summary info:
   Count: number of times phase was executed
   Time and Flops/sec: Max - maximum over all processors
                       Ratio - ratio of maximum to minimum over all 
processors
   Mess: number of messages sent
   Avg. len: average message length
   Reduct: number of global reductions
   Global: entire computation
   Stage: stages of a computation. Set stages with PetscLogStagePush() 
and PetscLogStagePop().
      %T - percent time in this phase         %F - percent flops in this 
phase
      %M - percent messages in this phase     %L - percent message 
lengths in this phase
      %R - percent reductions in this phase
   Total Mflop/s: 10e-6 * (sum of flops over all processors)/(max time 
over all processors)

I have a cartesian grid 600x720. Since there's 2 processors, it is 
partitioned to 600x360. I just use:

call 
MatCreateMPIAIJ(MPI_COMM_WORLD,PETSC_DECIDE,PETSC_DECIDE,total_k,total_k,5,PETSC_NULL_INTEGER,5,PETSC_NULL_INTEGER,A_mat,ierr)

        call MatSetFromOptions(A_mat,ierr)

        call MatGetOwnershipRange(A_mat,ksta_p,kend_p,ierr)

        call KSPCreate(MPI_COMM_WORLD,ksp,ierr)

        call 
VecCreateMPI(MPI_COMM_WORLD,PETSC_DECIDE,size_x*size_y,b_rhs,ierr)

total_k is actually size_x*size_y. Since it's 2d, the maximum values per 
row is 5. When you says setting off-process values, do you mean I insert 
values from 1 processor into another? I thought I insert the values into 
the correct processor...

Thank you very much!
