==============================
Transfer of matrices using MPI                      [TOC]
==============================

When matrices are to be transfered, we need a standardized
sequence of elements. Without such a standardization we are
unable to send a row-major matrix and to receive it
as column-major matrix and vice versa. In the following
we accept row-major as standard sequence for our matrices
during a transfer.

Exercise
========

Assume you have a matrix `A` with a row-major layout
where `A.incCol() == 1` and which is to be transfered in
in row-major order (per the standard defined above).
Is it then possible to construct the corresponding
MPI data type with one invocation of `MPI_Type_vector`?
Think about this for a moment and write down your
response without creating a test program.
