Apple partition

Each partition is a segment of the global domain, described by its global offset and its local size. In this case, we have ig_paral(1:3):

• ig_paral(1) = 1 (indicates an Apple partition)
• ig_paral(2) = the segment global offset
• ig_paral(3) = the segment local size

Figure 2.3 illustrates an Apple partition over 3 processes.
