want to change the number of processors between runs, for example because
one may wish to continue computing on a mesh that is finer than the one used
to pre-compute a starting temperature field at an intermediate time.

+ of different physical models and their comparison with things that we can
+ measure at the earth surface, in order to find which models are realistic
+ and which are contradicted by reality. To this end, we need to compute
+ quantities from our solution vectors that are related to what we can
+ observe. Among these are, for example, heatfluxes at the surface of the
+ earth, as well as seismic velocities throughout the mantle as these affect
+ earthquake waves that are recorded by seismographs.
