A communication descriptor associated with a sparse matrix has a
|

|
|
state, which can take the following values:
|
||
|
|
<DL>
|
||
|
|
<DT><STRONG>Build:</STRONG></DT>
|
||
|
|
<DD>State entered after the first allocation, and before the
|
||
|

first assembly; in this state it is possible to add communication
|

|
|
requirements among different processes.
|

<DT><STRONG>Assembled:</STRONG></DT>
|
||
|
|
<DD>State entered after the assembly; computations using
|
||
|

the associated sparse matrix, such as matrix-vector products, are

only possible in this state.

The global to local index mapping may be stored in two different
|
||
|
|
formats: the first is simpler but more expensive, as it requires on
|
||
|
|
each process an amount of memory proportional to the global size of
|
||
|
|
the index space; the second is more complex, but only requires memory
|
||
|
|
proportional to the local index space size. The choice is made at the
|
||
|
|
time of the initialization according to a threshold; this threshold
|
||
|
|
may be queried and set using the functions in
|
||
|
|
sec. <A HREF="node14.html#sec:dataquery">3.4</A>.
