This functionality is useful in both developing nodal schemes since, e.g., the $x$, $y$, and $z$ velocities at a point will be consecutive in the solution vector. It also improves interoperability with external libraries which expect data in this format. - \item A new module \texttt{Utilities::MPI::LargeCount} which enables sending and receiving MPI messages containing more than $2^{31}$ objects. - This library either uses the new MPI-4 functions, such as \texttt{MPI\_Send\_c()}, or an internal implementation of large objects for - compatibility with MPI-3. \item The \texttt{FEInterfaceValues} class, which computes common quantities at the interface of two cells, has been overhauled to make it more consistent with the rest of the library and use more intuitive names for functions.

In particular, operations that depend strongly on particle storage structure and require few fixed computations (like iteration and sorting) benefit massively from the above-mentioned optimizations. We note that the exact gains will depend strongly on the exact combination of geometry, mapping, dimensionality, and the number of particles per cell in any specific model, and can be smaller or larger than the measurements provided here. +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\subsection{Support for large MPI buffers and parallel I/O} +\label{sec:large-mpi} + + A new module \texttt{Utilities::MPI::LargeCount} which enables sending and receiving MPI messages containing more than $2^{31}$ objects. + This library either uses the new MPI-4 functions, such as \texttt{MPI\_Send\_c()}, or an internal implementation of large objects for + compatibility with MPI-3. + %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \subsection{Improvements to unstructured communication} \label{sec:CA} -- 2.39.5
