How to fill a matrix with a vector parallelly

[ming zhu]

Thank you I know that you are trying to let me know to match the vector element with the matrix.But it seems, the total number of rows (suppose m) has to satisfy    m = N * r,where N is the number of process and r is the local range.Am I right?

   No. It is column based and there is just one array for the who thing so v[0:m-1] is the first column v[m:2m-1] is the next column etc

 No. Just create the full matrix and copy over each vector as you get it.

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.
