BoxLib contains all the functionality needed to write a parallel,
|
||||
block-structured AMR application. The fundamental parallel abstraction is
|
||||
the MultiFab, which holds the data on the union of grids at a level. A
|
||||
MultiFab is composed of FAB's; each FAB is an array of data on a single
|
||||
grid. During each MultiFab operation the FAB's composing that MultiFab are
|
||||
distributed among the cores. MultiFab's at each level of refinement are
|
||||
distributed independently. The software supports two data distribution
|
||||
schemes, as well as a dynamic switching scheme that decides which approach
|
||||
to use based on the number of grids at a level and the number of processors.
|
||||
The first scheme is based on a heuristic knapsack algorithm; the second is
|
||||
based on the use of a Morton-ordering space-filling curve. MultiFab
|
||||
operations are performed with an owner computes rule with each processor
|
||||
operating independently on its local data. For operations that require data
|
||||
owned by other processors, the MultiFab operations are preceded by a data
|
||||
exchange between processors. Each processor contains meta-data that is
|
||||
needed to fully specify the geometry and processor assignments of the
|
||||
MultiFab's. At a minimum, this requires the storage of an array of boxes
|
||||
specifying the index space region for each AMR level of refinement. The
|
||||
meta-data can thus be used to dynamically evaluate the necessary
|
||||
communication patterns for sharing data amongst processors, enabling us to
|
||||
optimize communications patterns within the algorithm. One of the advantages
|
||||
of computing with fewer, larger grids in the hybrid OpenMP--MPI approach
|
||||
is that the size of the meta-data is substantially reduced.
