MatSetValuesBlocked

[Saikrishna V. Marella]

Hey guys,

How are the block matrices assembled when using
MatSetValuesBlocked(mat,m,idxm[],n,idxn[],v[],addv).

Suppose m=n=2 and block size(bs) = 2 The matrix I am trying to assemble is

1  2  | 3  4
5  6  | 7  8
- - - | - - -
9  10 | 11 12 
13 14 | 15 16

The manual says, v[] should be row-oriented. For Block matrices what does
that mean?

Should the array v[] being passed in look like

a) v[] = [1,2,5,6,3,4,7,8,9,10,13,14,11,12,15,16] 
                
                   OR

b) v[] = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]

Thanks.
Sai Marella.
