[petsc-users] PETSc and AMPI

Porting to AMPI
---------------
Global and static variables are unusable in virtualized AMPI programs, because
a separate copy would be needed for each VP. Therefore, to run with more than
1 VP per processor, all globals and statics must be modified to use local 
storage.
