<div dir="ltr">I am trying to create a VecScatter that will scatter all the values from a horizontal slice of a 3D DMDA global vector (with dof=3) to a sequential vector on every processor. So far I have been unsuccessful, most likely because I don't completely understand how to get the appropriate IS to do this. I believe that you need to create a sequential IS on every processor that has the PETSc global number for the appropriate values I want to scatter. What I most recently tried was the following code which takes the values at level k:<div>
<br></div><div><div> DM :: da3</div><div> Vec :: daSlice, daVec</div><div> PetscInt :: i, j, k, ierr, nis, istart, istep</div><div> IS :: from, to</div><div> AO :: ntog</div><div>
VecScatter :: vscat</div><div> PetscInt, allocatable :: indices(:)</div><div><br></div><div> ! Get the AO context for this DM</div><div> call DMDAGetAO(da3,ntog,ierr)</div><div><br></div><div> ! Create indices for scatter from global vector</div>
<div> allocate (indices(3*nx*ny))</div><div> istart=(k-1)*nx*ny*3</div><div> nis=nx*ny*3</div><div> do i=1,nis</div><div> indices(i)=istart+i-1</div><div> end do</div><div><br></div><div> ! Convert the indices from natural ordering to PETSc ordering</div>
<div> call AOApplicationToPetsc(ntog,nis,indices,ierr)</div><div><br></div><div> call ISCreateGeneral(PETSC_COMM_SELF,nis,indices,PETSC_COPY_VALUES,from,ierr)</div><div><br></div><div> ! Get the index set that specifies elements to scatter to sequential vector</div>
<div> istep=1</div><div> istart=0</div><div> nis=3*nx*ny</div>
<div> call ISCreateStride(PETSC_COMM_SELF,nis,istart,istep,to,ierr)</div><div><br></div><div> ! Create the Vector Scatter to get the values to every processor</div><div> call VecScatterCreate(daVec,from,daSlice,to,vscat,ierr)</div>
<div><br></div><div> ! Release memory</div><div> deallocate (indices)</div><div> call AODestroy(ntog,ierr)</div><div> call ISDestroy(from,ierr)</div><div> call ISDestroy(to,ierr)</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
