We set the displacements for each block as the location of the first
element in the block. This works because MPI_Scatterv uses the extents
to determine the start of each piece to send.
scdispls[0] = 0;
scdispls[1] = 4;
scdispls[2] = 32;
scdispls[3] = 36;
MPI_Scatterv( sendbuf, sendcounts, scdispls, block,
recvbuf, nx * ny, MPI_DOUBLE, 0,
MPI_COMM_WORLD );
127 How would use use the topology routines to make this more general?
