#include "petscvec.h" PetscErrorCode VecLoad(PetscViewer viewer, VecType outtype,Vec *newvec)Collective on PetscViewer
viewer | - binary file viewer, obtained from PetscViewerBinaryOpen() or NetCDF file viewer, obtained from PetscViewerNetcdfOpen() | |
outtype | - the type of vector VECSEQ or VECMPI or PETSC_NULL (which indicates using VECSEQ if the communicator in the Viewer is of size 1; otherwise use VECMPI). |
int VEC_FILE_COOKIE int number of rows PetscScalar *values of all nonzeros
Note for Cray users, the int's stored in the binary file are 32 bit integers; not 64 as they are represented in the memory, so if you write your own routines to read/write these binary files from the Cray you need to adjust the integer sizes that you read in, see PetscBinaryRead() and PetscBinaryWrite() to see how this may be done.
In addition, PETSc automatically does the byte swapping for machines that store the bytes reversed, e.g. DEC alpha, freebsd, linux, Windows and the paragon; thus if you write your own binary read/write routines you have to swap the bytes; see PetscBinaryRead() and PetscBinaryWrite() to see how this may be done.
