I recently sat down and read Kirk, "libMesh: a C++ library for adaptive mesh refinement/coarsening simulations", Engineering with Computers, 2006.
In that paper, I found the following: "On distributed memory machines, such as PC clusters, a complete copy of the mesh is maintained independently on each processor. This design decision limits practical 3D applications to on the order of 128 processors because of the overhead associated with storing the global mesh." Is it still the case that the complete mesh is represented in every process? Just curious, since the paper is from 2006 . . . Thanks.
