/*
    This file creates an MPI parallel KSP from a sequential PC that lives on MPI rank 0.
    It is intended to allow using PETSc MPI parallel linear solvers from non-MPI codes.

    That program may use OpenMP to compute the right hand side and matrix for the linear system

    The code uses MPI_COMM_WORLD below but maybe it should be PETSC_COMM_WORLD

    The resulting KSP and PC can only be controlled via the options database, though some common commands
    could be passed through the server.

/*MC
     PCMPI - Calls an MPI parallel KSP to solve a linear system from user code running on one process

   Level: beginner

   Options Database:
+  -mpi_linear_solver_server - causes the PETSc program to start in MPI linear solver server mode where only the first MPI rank runs user code
.  -mpi_linear_solver_server_view - displays information about the linear systems solved by the MPI linear solver server
.  -pc_mpi_minimum_count_per_rank - sets the minimum size of the linear system per MPI rank that the solver will strive for
-  -pc_mpi_always_use_server - use the server solver code even if the particular system is only solved on the process, this option is only for debugging and testing purposes

   Notes:
   The options database prefix for the MPI parallel KSP and PC is -mpi_

   The MPI linear solver server will not support scaling user code to utilize extremely large numbers of MPI ranks but should give reasonable speedup for
   potentially 4 to 8 MPI ranks depending on the linear system being solved, solver algorithm, and the hardware.

   It can be particularly useful for user OpenMP code or potentially user GPU code.

   When the program is running with a single MPI rank then this directly uses the provided matrix and right hand side (still in a KSP with the options prefix of -mpi)
   and does not need to distribute the matrix and vector to the various MPI ranks; thus it incurs no extra overhead over just using the KSP directly.
