  1. New: deal.II can now be compiled to 64-bit global dof indices. To turn + this feature on, use the cmake option -DDEAL_II_WITH_64BIT_INDICES=ON. If + PETSc and/or Trilinos are used, they must be compiled to support 64-bit + indices. To write a code that can use 32-bit and 64-bit indices depending on + deal.II compilation option, use types::global_dof_index for all the global + dof indices. +

    + 2013/06/05: 64-bit version of deal.II +
    +
    + Because the global dof index variables in deal.II were of type + unsigned int, it was not possible to create a dof_handler with more than + 4.3 billions of unknowns. The 64-bit version of deal.II uses unsigned long + long int and thus, allows for 18e18 unknowns. +
