   PetscBLASInt - datatype used to represent 'int' parameters to BLAS/LAPACK functions.

   Notes:
    Usually this is the same as PetscInt, but if PETSc was built with --with-64-bit-indices but
           standard C/Fortran integers are 32 bit then this is NOT the same as PetscInt it remains 32 bit
           (except on very rare BLAS/LAPACK implementations that support 64 bit integers see the notes below).

    PetscErrorCode PetscBLASIntCast(a,&b) checks if the given PetscInt a will fit in a PetscBLASInt, if not it
      generates a PETSC_ERR_ARG_OUTOFRANGE error

   Installation Notes:
    ./configure automatically determines the size of the integers used by BLAS/LAPACK except when --with-batch is used
    in that situation one must know (by some other means) if the integers used by BLAS/LAPACK are 64 bit and if so pass the flag --known-64-bit-blas-indice

    MATLAB ships with BLAS and LAPACK that use 64 bit integers, for example if you run ./configure with, the option
     --with-blaslapack-lib=[/Applications/MATLAB_R2010b.app/bin/maci64/libmwblas.dylib,/Applications/MATLAB_R2010b.app/bin/maci64/libmwlapack.dylib]

    MKL ships with both 32 and 64 bit integer versions of the BLAS and LAPACK. If you pass the flag -with-64-bit-blas-indices PETSc will link
    against the 64 bit version, otherwise it use the 32 bit version

    OpenBLAS can be built to use 64 bit integers. The ./configure options --download-openblas -with-64-bit-blas-indices will build a 64 bit integer version

    External packages such as hypre, ML, SuperLU etc do not provide any support for passing 64 bit integers to BLAS/LAPACK so cannot
    be used with PETSc when PETSc links against 64 bit integer BLAS/LAPACK. ./configure will generate an error if you attempt to link PETSc against any of
    these external libraries while using 64 bit integer BLAS/LAPACK.

$     PetscSubcommChild() returns the associated subcommunicator on this process
$     PetscSubcommContiguousParent() returns a parent communitor but with all child of the same subcommunicator having contiguous rank

   Sample Usage:

   Notes:
$   PETSC_SUBCOMM_GENERAL - similar to MPI_Comm_split() each process sets the new communicator (color) they will belong to and the order within that communicator
$   PETSC_SUBCOMM_CONTIGUOUS - each new communicator contains a set of process with contiguous ranks in the original MPI communicator
$   PETSC_SUBCOMM_INTERLACED - each new communictor contains a set of processes equally far apart in rank from the others in that new communicator

   Example: Consider a communicator with six processes split into 3 subcommunicators.
