X-Git-Tag: v9.2.0-rc1~1146^2 X-Git-Url: https://gitweb.dealii.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=refs%2Fpull%2F8692%2Fhead;p=dealii.git Remove outdated documentation on largest allowed number of dofs. In the module on distributed parallel computing the largest allowed number of dofs is stated to be the largest attainable value of int. This no longer true, remove the statement. --- diff --git a/doc/doxygen/headers/distributed.h b/doc/doxygen/headers/distributed.h index 1ef71746ef..f033d320d6 100644 --- a/doc/doxygen/headers/distributed.h +++ b/doc/doxygen/headers/distributed.h @@ -68,10 +68,7 @@ * a thorough description of many of the terms used here, can be found in the * @ref distributed_paper "Distributed Computing paper".
