[petsc-dev] PCASM: subdomains spanning multiple processes

[Richard Tran Mills]

Hi Jed,

I had some interest in doing maybe 3 years ago and it didn't look that hard, 
but I didn't have the time or a pressing need.  (I don't know what the PCASM 
implementation looks like these days; haven't looked since then.)  I'm still 
interested in this.
