The matrices b and x cannot be the same. I.e., one cannot
call <A HREF="../Mat/MatMatSolve.html#MatMatSolve">MatMatSolve</A>(A,x,x).
<P>
<H3><FONT COLOR="#CC3333">Notes</FONT></H3>
Most users should usually employ the simplified <A HREF="../KSP/KSP.html#KSP">KSP</A> interface for linear solvers
instead of working directly with matrix algebra routines such as this.
See, e.g., <A HREF="../KSP/KSPCreate.html#KSPCreate">KSPCreate</A>(). However <A HREF="../KSP/KSP.html#KSP">KSP</A> can only solve for one vector (column of X)
at a time.
<P>
When using SuperLU_Dist as a parallel solver PETSc will use the SuperLU_Dist functionality to solve multiple right hand sides simultaneously. For MUMPS
it calls a separate solve for each right hand side since MUMPS does not yet support distributed right hand sides.
<P>
Since the resulting matrix X must always be dense we do not support sparse representation of the matrix B.
