# PetscSFNode

specifier of owner and index

## Synopsis

    typedef struct {
      PetscInt rank;  /* Rank of owner */
      PetscInt index; /* Index of node on rank */
    } PetscSFNode;

## Sample Usage

        PetscSFNode    *remote;
        PetscCall(PetscMalloc1(nleaves,&remote));
        for (i=0; i<size; i++) {
          remote[i].rank = i;
          remote[i].index = rank;
        }

## Sample Fortran Usage

        type(PetscSFNode) remote(6)
        remote(1)%rank  = modulo(rank+size-1,size)
        remote(1)%index = 1 * stride

## Notes

Use `MPIU_SF_NODE` when performing MPI operations on arrays of `PetscSFNode`

Generally the values of `rank` should be in \([ 0,size)\) and the value of `index` greater than or equal to 0, but there are some situations that violate this.
