Could you please show an example where this is the case?
pdipm->x, which I’m assuming is a working vector, is both used as input for Hessian and Jacobian functions, e.g., https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/blob/master/src/tao/constrained/impls/ipm/pdipm.c#L369 <https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/blob/master/src/tao/constrained/impls/ipm/pdipm.c#L369> (Hessian) + https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/blob/master/src/tao/constrained/impls/ipm/pdipm.c#L473 <https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/blob/master/src/tao/constrained/impls/ipm/pdipm.c#L473> (Jacobian)
I thus doubt that it is possible to have different layouts?
In practice, I end up with the following error when I try this (2 processes, distributed Hessian with centralized Jacobian):

I think this can be reproduced by ex1.c by just distributing the Hessian instead of having it centralized on rank 0.

Very naive question, but given that I have a single constraint, how do I split a 1 x N matrix column-wise? I thought it was not possible.

Thanks,

It’s not an ideal example w.r.t demonstrating a parallel implementation. We aim to add more examples as we develop PDIPM. If you have an example to contribute then we would most welcome it and provide help on adding it.
