Does PETSc support repartitioning of coarse grid operators onto a smaller subset of processors during coarsening? Or the coarsest grid must be represented on the same amount of processors as the finest? It becomes a problem when a lot of processors are employed (say 4096 or more). If it is supported, how can I use it?</blockquote>
