Parallel DataToFieldSolver

Post by edge025 »

Hello,

Before I spend a whole lot of time on this, maybe someone has an answer before I do:
Does "DataToFieldSolver" work in parallel? Meaning, Elmer is running in parallel, but the ASCII file is only one file (not partitioned).

Thanks.

Regards,
Joe

Hi

Currently not. It may do something almost sensible since all partitions do the same thing.

What would be easy, is to skip data that is not in given partition. The problems could be at the interfaces since it would require some MPI communication to not have duplicate hits. How important this is depends somewhat what kind of data you have.

This is intended to map point data to mesh. If you have mesh data then more accurate strategies exist.
