Thanks for suggestion. I am going to use a block-based amr. I think I need to know exactly the mesh distribution of blocks across different processors for implementation of amr.
And as a general question, can we set block size of vector on each rank?

Is it possible to set the distribution across processors manually. I mean, how can I set the share of dm on each rank (local)? You could make a Shell partitioner and tell it the entire partition: https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-master/docs/manualpages/DMPLEX/PetscPartitionerShellSetPartition.html However, I would be surprised if you could do this. It is likely that you just want to mess with the weights in ParMetis.
