Figure 7: Sample discretization mesh.

Usage Example Consider the discretization mesh depicted in fig. 7, partitioned among two processes as shown by the dashed line; the data distribution is such that each process will own 32 entries in the index space, with a halo made of 8 entries placed at local indices 33 through 40. If process 0 assigns an initial value of 1 to its entries in the vector, and process 1 assigns a value of 2, then after a call to `psb_halo` the contents of the local vectors will be the following:

Process 0 |  | Process 1
