# Distributed Vectors

- mpi distributed


## Creating

- create functions
- default construct + read pattern
    - ref [](partition.md)
    - partition is not stored!
    - only check if local + global sizes are compatible
- from local vectors
- ref [](communicator.md)

## Accessing Local Data

## BLAS Operations

- operations typical of elements of vector spaces
- norms
  - blocking collective comm

## Conversions

- precision conversions
- to matrix conversions
- to/from complex

## IO

- read from matrix data
