yade-mpi
Hello @francois.kneib, @bchareyre and all,
This Issue is mainly opened for discussions related to implementations and improvements in Yade-MPI, the mpi branch
(I could not find another way other than creating a merge request!).
Changes from the Hackathon version :
-
fix a small issue in the insertAtId function in the BodyContainer.
-
I have added a container called MPIBodyContainer (
vector<shared_ptr <Body> >
), we can serialize this into binary archive in string format and use this in sending and receiving bodies/states. (Thanks William and Bruno for these ideas! )
Modifications I intend to push to mpi branch:
-
put the functions to serialize and de-serialize container in Subdomain class (right now it's in py/_utils.cpp)
-
few functions to send and recv (non-blocking) the serialized container, and use this to improve the
mpiIrecvStates
,mpiSendStates
and also the communication of forces to master. (We can discuss this in detail)
Things I intend to work (a different branch):
-
improve the adaptive domain decomposition module (move it to C++).
-
parallel coupling with an external solver (OpenFOAM for example).
-
anything else.
