I was wondering how ghost values were handled when creating a distributed (global) vector from a specific PetscSection over a DMComplex object- ie what defines the stencils used to figure out which values need to be ghosted? What about local vs. global indexes? -Chris -- Chris Eldred DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellow Graduate Student, Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University B.S.
