00039 \section ADM Abstract Data Model
00040 - The term "mesh" refers to an abstraction in the data model;
00041 it does not imply a serial or parallel distribution.
00042 - The term "partition" refers to an assignment of a set of entities to
00043 subsets; like a "mesh," it does not imply a serial or parallel
00044 implementation.
00045 - An application may use one or more meshes.
00046 - Partitions can create subsets of entities from one or more meshes.
00047 - Meshes can be subdivided by one or more partitions.
00048 - Partitions contain parts. Parts contain the subsets of entities in the
00049 partition.
00050
00051 \section PAR Parallelism
00052 - A "process" can be thought of as an MPI process. The
00053 number of processes can be considered to be the result of MPI_Comm_size.
00054 The rank of a process can be thought of as the result of MPI_Comm_rank.
00055 We will think in terms of processes rather than processors. Initial
00056 implementations of the parallel interface will likely use MPI terminology
00057 directly; future implementations may accommodate other communication
00058 paradigms and libraries.
00059 - Partitions have communicators associated with them. These communicators
00060 can be thought of as MPI communicators.
00061 - "Global" operations are operations performed with respect to a
00062 partition's communicator.
00063 - "Local" operations are operations performed with respect to a part or
00064 a mesh instance within a process.
00065 - Part A "neighbors" Part B if Part A has copies of entities owned by Part B
00066 and/or if Part B has copies of entities owned by Part A.
00067
00068 \section INT Interfaces
00069 - Each process has one or more "mesh instances." A mesh instance can be
00070 thought of as a mesh database. An implementation should support the
00071 existence of more than one mesh instance per process (e.g., it should
00072 always associate mesh data with a mesh instance). However, we expect
00073 applications would most often use only one mesh instance per process.
00074 - There is one root set per mesh instance.
00075 - Each process may have one or more partition handles.
00076 - A partition assigns entities from one mesh instance to parts.
00077 - Entities in a mesh instance can be partitioned by one or more partitions.
00078 Mesh instances know which partitions they contain.
00079 - Parts are uniquely identified globally by part IDs of type iMeshP_Part.
00080 Local parts can also be accessed by part handles that provide more
00081 direct access to a part.
00082 Functions accepting part handles operate correctly on only local
00083 parts (parts on the calling process); they will return an error
00084 for remote (off-process) parts.
00085 - Generation and management of global IDs for entities
00086 is not included in the iMeshP interface. It can
00087 be provided as a service above the iMeshP interface.
00088 Uniqueness of global IDs is managed at the partition level.
00089
00090 \section PRT Using Parts
00091 - Each part is wholly contained within a process.
00092 - A process may have zero, one or multiple parts.
00093 - For each entity that is copied onto remote parts, the owning part knows
00094 both the remote part ID and remote entity handle of all copies.
00095 - All parts with copies of a boundary entity know the remote part ID
00096 and remote entity handle of all copies of the entity.
00097 - All parts with copies of any entity know the part ID and
00098 entity handle corresponding to the owner of the entity.
00099 - Functions that return entity information for a part, set or mesh
00100 instance return the information for all entities (including copies and
00101 ghosts) in that part, set or mesh instance. Applications can check
00102 whether an entity is owned or a ghost using iMeshP_isEntOwner or
00103 iMeshP_getEntStatus.
00104 - Many iMesh functions that accept an iBase_EntitySetHandle
00105 are also useful in the context of a iMeshP_PartHandle.
00106 These functions are reinterpreted so that they can accept either an
00107 iBase_EntitySetHandle or an iMeshP_PartHandle.
00108 - In particular, entities are added to and removed from local parts via
00109 the same functions that are used to manipulate entity sets.
00110 That is, given a mesh instance, an entity handle, and a part handle,
00111 the entity is added to or removed from the part via calls to
00112 the following functions with the part handle passed as the entity set handle:
00113 - Add entity to part --> iMesh_addEntToSet
00114 - Remove entity from part --> iMesh_rmvEntFromSet
00115 - Add array of entities to part --> iMesh_addEntArrToSet
00116 - Remove array of entities from part --> iMesh_rmvEntArrFromSet
00117
00118 \section CMM Communication
00119 - Each function description includes its communication requirements. The
00120 options are described here:
00121 - COMMUNICATION: Collective -- the function must be called by all
00122 processes in the partition's communicator. (These functions have the
00123 suffix "All" to indicate collective communication is done.)
00124 - COMMUNICATION: Point-to-Point -- communication is used, but the
00125 communication is from one process to only one other process. The
00126 receiving process must issue an appropriate receive call to receive
00127 the message.
00128 - COMMUNICATION: None -- the function does not use communication; only
00129 local operations are performed.
00130 - COMMUNICATION: None++ -- no communication is done; the values
00131 are precomputed by iMeshP_syncPartitionAll or iMeshP_syncMeshAll.
00132 - Non-blocking calls for off-processor mesh-modification return a request
00133 that indicates whether or not the operation has completed. The request
00134 is more than an MPI request; it encapsulates both the MPI information and
00135 the mesh operations that were requested. If non-blocking calls are used,
00136 appropriate calls to iMeshP "wait" or "poll" functions must be used to
00137 handle and satisfy requests.

02121 ------------------------------------------------
02122 Major Items left to do:
02123 - Support for multiple partitions.
02124 We discussed designating a given partition as
02125 the "active" partition; i.e., the partition that is actually used in
02126 the distribution of mesh data in distributed memory. We were concerned
02127 that when multiple partitions were used, multiple copies of mesh
02128 entities would be needed to fully support multiple partitions at the
02129 same time. Designating one partition as "active" would store data
02130 with respect to only one partition.
02131 - File I/O support.
02132 Need common set of options to allow interoperability.
02133 Support single files, N << P files on P processes, and P files.
02134 Support reading and writing partition information.
02135 Support initial parallel partitioning of serial file data.
02136 Support storing mapping of parts to processes in files.
02137
02138 ------------------------------------------------
02139 Minor Items left to do:
02140 - Determine which capabilities need both "getNumX" and "getX" functions.
02141 That is, when would an application need "getNumX" to allocate memory
02142 for "getX" or separately from "getX". When could we use only "getX"
02143 and return numX as a byproduct.
02144
02145 - Determine with functions need "Ent" and "EntArr" versions, or whether
02146 we should adopt only the more general "EntArr" version.
02147
02148 - Determine whether to revise iMeshP_createPartition to make it less MPI
02149 specific. We don't want to require applications to link with MPI if the
02150 implementation doesn't require it. We may define an ITAPS_Comm name
02151 typedef'ed appropriately.
02152
02153 - iMeshP_getOwnerCopy could be achieved by calling iMeshP_getOwnerPart
02154 followed by iMeshP_getCopyOnPart. Do we want to keep iMeshP_getOwnerCopy?
02155
02156 - Need function to receive tag data from part-boundary entities in owner.
02157 Possible options: return the tag data values received directly, or
02158 include a mathematical operation (similar to MPI_SUM). 9/15/08
02159
02160 ------------------------------------------------
02161 Comments and resolved questions:
02162
02163 - Applications will build partitions by (1) creating a partition handle
02164 on each process to be included in the partition; (2) adding parts to
02165 the partition handle within the process; (3) populating the parts with
02166 entities, and (4) calling iMeshP_syncPartitionAll to allow the
02167 implementation to compute global data for the partition.
02168
02169 - For now, we will not include an iterator over local (to a
02170 process) parts within a partition. If it is needed, it can be added
02171 later.
02172
02173 - We will not provide capability to move entire parts to new
02174 processes; instead, the new process must create the part in its
02175 partition handle and then receive (perhaps in bulk) the entities to
02176 populate the part. In other words, parts can be added to only a local
02177 partition handle.
02178
02179 - Currently, iMesh doesn't have the functionality to get entities or
02180 entity sets by type and tag in serial. Should it?
02181 Many people said it would be useful; others said it could be costly
02182 (in parallel) or numerically difficult (for floating point values).
02183 This issue is an iMesh issue, not a parallel interface issue, so
02184 for this document, the issue is resolved. The resolution: If
02185 iMesh adopts this capability, we will add it to the
02186 parallel interface.
02187
02188 - We will not include functions that return all entities with
02189 given characteristics within a partition; the memory use of these
02190 functions can be large. Instead, we will return entity information
02191 with respect to parts and/or mesh instances. If the user wants such
02192 info, he should go through the mechanics of gathering it himself so
02193 that he is painfully aware of how much memory he is allocating.
02194 Removed the following global queries:
02195 + All tag names over the partition;
02196 + All entities in this partition having a given type, tag and/or
02197 tag name.
02198 + All entity sets in this partition having a given
02199 type, tag and/or tag name.
02200
02201 - We will not include functions that return information about each
02202 part and/or process in a partition. Such functions limit memory
02203 scalability for large numbers of parts. If the user wants such
02204 info, he should go through the mechanics of gathering it himself so
02205 that he is painfully aware of how much memory he is allocating.
02206 Removed the following global queries:
02207 + The number of entities in each part of the partition;
02208 + The number of entity sets in each part of the partition;
02209 + The number of entities with given type, tag, and/or
02210 tag name in each part of the partition;
02211 + The number of entity sets with given type, tag,
02212 and/or tag name in each part of the partition;
02213 + All tag names in each part of the partition;
02214
02215 - For functions that replace a set handle with a part handle, return
02216 all appropriate entities in a part, whether they are owned or are
02217 copies. The application can test for ownership if needed.
02218
02219 - Part assignments computed with respect to a set of
02220 entities induce part assignments to adjacent entities in an
02221 implementation-dependent fashion. That is, if a partition is computed
02222 with respect to regions, queries about ownership of faces and vertices
02223 are valid.
02224
02225 ------------------------------------------------
02226 Discussed but unresolved questions:
02227
02228 - We discussed adding functions that give
02229 hints to an implementation about which data mappings the application
02230 will use, allowing the implementation to pre-compute them if it chooses
02231 to. The example discussed was mapping between entities and parts, but
02232 other examples in iMesh may also exist.
02233
02234 - We discussed adding an iterator over entities
02235 with given type/topology in a set or part. We have non-iterator
02236 functionality, but not an iterator.
02237 KDD: Is this true? What is iMesh_initEntIter (and its analogous
02238 KDD: iMeshP_initEntIter)?
02239
02240 - We discussed storing in a partition
02241 information about which "objects" were used in computing the partition.
02242 These objects can be single entities or groups of entities.
02243 KDD: Perhaps this capability should be part of the load-balancing service.
02244
02245 - We discussed designating a given partition as
02246 the "active" partition; i.e., the partition that is actually used in
02247 the distribution of mesh data in distributed memory. We were concerned
02248 that when multiple partitions were used, multiple copies of mesh
02249 entities would be needed to fully support multiple partitions at the
02250 same time. Designating one partition as "active" would store data
02251 with respect to only one partition.
02252
02253 ------------------------------------------------
02254 Not-yet-discussed, unresolved questions
02255
02256 Entity questions:
02257 - From Carl: "getTag*Operate: Again, we haven't got this in serial. Does
02258 the existence of such operations imply that we expect to implement
02259 fields as tags? (Because that wasn't what I was assuming about field
02260 implementations at all, personally...) Note that I'm not opposed to
02261 this sort of global reduction operation, I just wonder whether it'll see
02262 use outside of field-like situations. If not, then it should be in
02263 parallel fields, not parallel mesh, and usage for
02264 fields-implemented-as-tags should be handled there."

02268 /* NOTES FROM BOOTCAMP MARCH 2008 */
02269 /*--------------------------------*/
02270 /*
02271 - Changed getPartRank to getRankOfPart. (Carl)
02272 - Made sure iMeshP_getNumOfTypeAll and iMeshP_getNumOfTopoAll were
02273 documented as collective operations. (Carl)
02274 - Changed suffix "Par" to "All". (Lori)
02275 - Added iMeshP_testPart() to test status of part handle, returning
02276 LOCAL, REMOTE, or INVALID. (Mark M, Lori).
02277 6/25/08: Removed this function since part handles can no longer be remote.
02278 If an application wants to test the validity of a part handle, it can try
02279 to compute its Part ID.
02280 - Changed iMeshP_addCopyOf and iMeshP_rmvCopyOf back to
02281 iMeshP_addGhostOf and iMeshP_rmvGhostOf. If we wanted to use these
02282 functions for adding boundary copies, we'd have to include a list of
02283 already existing remote copies in the arguments, as well as
02284 communicate with parts already owning copies to let them know a ghost
02285 copy has been made. Actually, this raises an interesting question:
02286 does a boundary copy need to know about all ghost copies of it?
02287 - Change getEntParStatus to getEntStatus. (Lori)
02288 - Changed sendEntArrToPartsPar to exchEntArrToPartsAll. (Lori,Tim)
02289
02290
02291 Parts and Processes:
02292 - Martin argued for consecutive unique Part IDs in addition to or
02293 instead of Part handles. He will send use cases. If we decide to
02294 add them back to the interface, we could compute them in
02295 iMeshP_syncPartitionAll rather than in iMeshP_createPart. That is, an
02296 application couldn't access them until after iMeshP_syncPartitionAll.
02297 6/25/08: On follow-up, Martin couldn't recall why having consecutive
02298 PartIDs was necessary. While we all agree they are conceptually nice,
02299 they are difficult to implement and not really necessary. Part IDs will
02300 be globally unique but not necessarily consecutive.
02301 - Are part handles globally unique? They probably need to be
02302 globally unique in order for them to be useful as remote part
02303 handles. Also, does the process rank need to be encoded in the part
02304 handle in order to map from parts to processes for communication?
02305 6/25/08: DECIDED: We will have globally unique part IDs. Part handles
02306 will be valid for only local parts. Accessing remote parts must be done
02307 via Part IDs.
02308 - If in iMeshP_syncPartitionAll, we computed a mapping from part
02309 handles to integers 0,..., k-1, we could store only ranges of
02310 integers to achieve the part-to-process and process-to-parts mappings;
02311 this would require O(P) storage per process for P processes.
02312 6/5/08: DECIDED: Do not need getPartOnRank or getNumPartOnRank. These
02313 functions were troublesome due to their storage or communication requirements.
02314 We decided to remove them.
02315 - Alternatively, the mapping of all parts to processes can be stored
02316 in O(k) total memory, distributed across processors (e.g., a
02317 distributed data directory) but interrogating the directory requires
02318 communication.
02319 6/5/08: See note above.
02320 - iMeshP_getPartsOnRank created discussion and needs to be resolved.
02321 IMeshP_getPartsOnRank would likely require either O(k) storage per
02322 process for k parts or communication. For other points, please see
02323 Mark M's 3/12/08 email.
02324 6/5/08: See note above.
02325
02326 CreateEnt:
02327 - Carl asked if we should have a version of createEnt that accepts a
02328 part handle. Should this function be used only for creating owned
02329 entities? How do you envision creating part boundary entities when a
02330 parallel mesh is initially loaded?
02331
02332 Ghost entities:
02333 - We currently have a mechanism only for pushing ghosts onto other
02334 parts. Will we want a mechanism for pulling them, too? (E.g., a
02335 part says, "I want ghosts for this entity.")
02336
02337 PartNbor functions:
02338 - Did we agree to remove the entity type from these functions? That
02339 is, do we want to return the part IDs for all parts that have
02340 any copies? The entity type was intended to allow us to get the part
02341 IDs for all parts that have copies of a given type (perhaps
02342 ALL_TYPES).
02343
02344 Functions handling both Parts and Entity Sets:
02345 - Tim said these function names (e.g., iMeshP_getNumOfType,
02346 iMeshP_getAllVtxCoord) are too close to existing iMesh function
02347 names, even though the argument lists would be different. He agreed
02348 to email suggestions for better names.
02349
02350 Copies:
02351 - Functions getNumCopies, getCopies, getCopyParts, and getCopyOnPart
02352 have different behavior for ghost and part-boundary copies. Ghosts
02353 will return only itself and its owner in getCopies; part-boundary
02354 entities will return copies on other parts as well.
02355 - Tim envisions applications (e.g., FETI methods) updating tag data
02356 in their copies that they would like to accumulate back to the
02357 owner. Xiaolin said that he writes in his ghosts, but doesn't send
02358 those values back to the owner. Currently, we have the ability
02359 to send tag data only from owners to ghosts. Tim will look at this issue
02360 and propose a solution.
02361
02362 Communication:
02363 - Although we should think in terms of parts, communication really
02364 occurs with respect to processes. We need to make sure all our
02365 communication routines make sense with respect to both processes and
02366 parts, and perhaps, revise their descriptions. Also, if we send to
02367 parts, the implementation really does need the mapping of parts to
02368 processes.

02370 Entity Owner/Status Queries:
02371 - Should we combine functions getEntOwnerPart and getEntStatus into
02372 one function? Or should we combine functions getOwnerCopy and
02373 getEntOwner into one function? Or should we remove getOwnerCopy and
02374 make applications call getOwnerPart followed by getCopyOnPart?
02375
02376 Reducing storage:
02377 - Mark Miller proposed allowing the user to specify the amount of
02378 copying done by the implementation, depending on applications' needs.
02379 For example, for a static viz application, every boundary entity may not
02380 need to know where all its copies are, so the implementation would not
02381 have to store them. Can the implementations accept a flag advising them how
02382 much copying is needed? If so, the implementations could choose to
02383 optimize storage or ignore the flag.
