I also have a question about the usage of "PetscInitialize" & "PetscFinalize". I can't totally understand them from the manual. Now, I wrote it as: Int main(int argc, char **argv) { PetscInitialize(0, 0, 0, 0 ); VerifyApp app(argc, argv); app.Initialize(); app.Run(); PetscFinalize(); return 0; } Then, built a binary, say "verify", and executed "verify" on a server first, then, started another "verify" on client by server. The program ran at client side can be multiple processes and multiple threads. Is my usage correct? Your answer is appreciated.
