[petsc-users] Load dense matrices from hdf5

[Smith, Barry F.]

   I assume you are ./configure PETSc with --with-scalar-type=complex? If so, the values in the file are the real and imaginary parts interlaced: That is 
r0 i0 r1 i1 ....   where r0 is the first matrix entry's real part and i0 is the first matrix imaginary part.
