Hi,<br><br>I am having trouble understanding the -vec_view output of the simple code I have pasted underneath. In it, I am just reading two PetscBinary files created with a stand alone code. one containing a matrix and another containing a vector. <br>
<br>However on doing -vec_view during run-time, I get a sequence of zeros before the actual vector of the binary file is printed. But when I read the PetscBinary file in MATLAB I get the correct vector. <br><br>Why does this happen? Is it because I am using vector type VECMPI to load the binary file (* ierr = VecLoad(fd_b,VECMPI,&b);CHKERRQ(ierr); *)?? <br>
<br>e.g. <br><br>The ASCII text file (BEFORE converting to binary) with standalone code looks like<br><br>4<br>6<br><br>The output I get on -vec_view is <br><br>0<br>0<br>4<br>6<br><br>But with VecGetSize I get the vector length to be 2. !!!<br>
