VEC_IGNORE_OFF_PROC_ENTRIES, which causes VecSetValues() to ignore- entries destined to be stored on a separate processor. This can be used to eliminate the global reduction in the VecAssemblyXXXX() if you know that you have only used VecSetValues() to set local elements
VEC_IGNORE_NEGATIVE_INDICES, which means you can pass negative indices- in ix in calls to VecSetValues() or VecGetValues(). These rows are simply ignored.
