/*S
   PetscSF - PETSc object for setting up and managing the communication of certain entries of arrays and Vecs between MPI processes.

   Level: intermediate

       PetscSF uses the concept of star forests to indicate and determine the communication patterns concisely and efficiently.
  A star  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_(graph_theory) forest is simply a collection of trees of height 1. The leave nodes represent
  "ghost locations" for the root nodes.
