VecGetLocalVectorRead
Maps the local portion of a vector into a vector. You must call VecRestoreLocalVectorRead() when the local vector is no longer needed.
Synopsis
#include "petscvec.h"
#undef __FUNCT__
#define __FUNCT__ "VecGetLocalVectorRead"
PetscErrorCode VecGetLocalVectorRead(Vec v,Vec w)
Not collective.
Input parameter
v -The vector for which the local vector is desired.
Output parameter
w -Upon exit this contains the local vector.
Notes
This function is similar to VecGetArrayRead() which maps the local
portion into a raw pointer. VecGetLocalVectorRead() is usually
almost as efficient as VecGetArrayRead() but in certain circumstances
VecGetLocalVectorRead() can be much more efficient than
VecGetArrayRead(). This is because the construction of a contiguous
array representing the vector data required by VecGetArrayRead() can
be an expensive operation for certain vector types. For example, for
GPU vectors VecGetArrayRead() requires that the data between device
and host is synchronized.
Unlike VecGetLocalVector(), this routine is not collective and
preserves cached information.
