[Trilinos-Users] [EXTERNAL] AztecOO: AZ_extract_comm_info

[Raymond Tuminaro]

Andrea,
   I suspect that this obscure error message is something that I wrote about 10+ years ago before Trilinos really even
existed. I'm not sure why you are getting this, but I can perhaps tell you what it means. For Aztec (which obviously
sits inside Trilinos) all the ghost elements of a vector (that is elements of a vector needed -but not owned- by a 
processor to perform its local part of a matrix-vector product) must have a local numbering which is greater than
all the vector elements that are owned by the processor. For example, if a processor owns 10 elements, then the way 
local ids are numbered for both matrices and vectors should be so that v[0:9] correspond to the locally owned vector
components while v[> 9] would be the ghost variables filled by some communication routine.

Hope this helps.
-Ray
