Thanks Jed for the quick response. Yes I am asking about the repartitioning of coarse grids in geometric multigrid for unstructured mesh. I am happy with AMG. Thanks for letting me know.

    But you can use an algebraic multigrid that does similar communicator
    reduction, and can be applied to the original global problem or just on
    the "coarse" problem of an initial geometric hierarchy.
