Interesting (perhaps unique) approach to parallelising FiPy sweeps

2016-09-16 Thread Gopalakrishnan, Krishnakumar
Hello, In our present system of equations, we sweep 8 loosely coupled PDEs defined in 5 meshes, until their residues die down to an acceptable value. Upon profiling the code, it's clear that the sweep function is a major computational bottleneck. We tried MPI parallelism, but that didn't work
