[petsc-dev] DMFOREST repartitioning in PETSc

[Saurabh Chawdhary]

Hello team,

I haven't used petsc since DMFOREST was released but I have a question 
regarding repartitioning of DMFOREST mesh. How is the repartitioning of 
mesh over processors done after some mesh refinement is carried out? Is 
it done by calling a p4est function or partitioning is done in PETSc?

I was using p4est (natively) a couple of years ago and I remember that 
when I tried to partition the grid I could only use the serial METIS and 
not the parMETIS with p4est (using a native function 
/p4est_connectivity_reorder/). So what I want to know is whether 
DMFOREST repartitioning is done in parallel or in serial?


Thank you.

Saurabh
