[petsc-users] How to extract array portions

Thanks Dave, that's exactly what I was looking for, and it (partially) 
solved my problem.

The MatMult operation now works fine, unfortunately not for every number of 
MPI processes (while the MatMult involving each submatrix works fine for any 
number of processes):

....
matArray(1) = L_discretized
matArray(2) = K_discretized
matArray(3) = L_MR
matArray(4) = K_MR
CALL 
MatCreateNest(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,2,PETSC_NULL_OBJECT,2,PETSC_NULL_OBJECT,matArray,TheMatrix,IERR)
CALL MatSetFromOptions(TheMatrix,IERR)
!
CALL VecCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,x,IERR)
CALL VecSetSizes(x,PETSC_DECIDE,2*NumberOfUnknowns,IERR)
CALL VecSetFromOptions(x,IERR)
CALL VecSet(x,0.+0.*PETSC_i,IERR)
CALL VecSetValues(x,1,0,1.+0.*PETSC_i,INSERT_VALUES,IERR)
CALL VecAssemblyBegin(x,IERR)
CALL VecAssemblyEnd(x,IERR)
CALL VecCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,y,IERR)
CALL VecSetSizes(y,PETSC_DECIDE,NumberOfUnknowns+NumberOfMeasures,IERR)
CALL VecSetFromOptions(y,IERR)
CALL MatMult(TheMatrix,x,y,IERR)
....


I guess there is something wrong with the distribution of vectors between 
the MPI processes. With the specific sizes of my problem everything works 
fine with 1-2-3-6 processes, otherwise I get "Nonconforming object sizes" 
error, e.g. with 8 processes:

I noticed that the code works (runs and provides correct results) when the 
number of processes divides the length of y2 (number of rows of A21 and 
A22); however when I apply MatMult separately on A21 and A22 everything 
works fine with any number of processes

Any idea where I'm messing up here?


Thanks,
Alessandro
