<P>
PETSc communicators are just regular MPI communicators that keep track of which
tags have been used to prevent tag conflict. If you pass a non-PETSc communicator into
a PETSc creation routine it will attach a private communicator for use in the objects communications.
The internal <A HREF="../Sys/MPI_Comm.html#MPI_Comm">MPI_Comm</A> is used to perform all the MPI calls for PETSc, the outter <A HREF="../Sys/MPI_Comm.html#MPI_Comm">MPI_Comm</A> is a user
level <A HREF="../Sys/MPI_Comm.html#MPI_Comm">MPI_Comm</A> that may be performing communication for the user or other library and so <A HREF="../IS/IS.html#IS">IS</A> NOT used by PETSc.
