How to fill a matrix with a vector parallelly

[ming zhu]

OK.may I ask , I think Petsc matrix is row -based. That means, MatGetArray(Mat mat,PetscScalar *v[])v[0] is the pointer to the first row. v[0][0] is the value of mat[0][0].Am I right?And do you mean that, each time I got a vector, I create a sub matrix to store it.Later on, the merging will be a problem.

  Call VecGetOwnershipRange() to know what rows of the vector belong to the process. Then create the MPIDense matrix with the same number of local rows.

So create a MPIDENSE matrix with the same row layout as the eigenvector then on each process use VecGetArray() to access that processes part of the vector and MatGetArray() to access that part of the matrix and copy the values over from the vector array to the matrix array.

While SLEPC proivdes a solver to get an eigenvector and the related eigenvalue, I have to fill the eigenvector to form the eigen matrix. However, there seems no such function to do this directly. I was trying to use VecGetValues and filled the matrix one by one. Howevevr, it can not do that in parallel.
