- relocate templating to factory method 'New'.
Adds provisions for more general re-use.
- expose processor topology in globalMesh as topology()
- wrap proc->patch lookup as processorTopology::procPatchLookup method
(failsafe). May consider using Map<label> for its storage in the
future.
- PstreamBuffers nProcs() and allProcs() methods to recover the rank
information consistent with the communicator used for construction
- allowClearRecv() methods for more control over buffer reuse
For example,
pBufs.allowClearRecv(false);
forAll(particles, particlei)
{
pBufs.clear();
fill...
read via IPstream(..., pBufs);
}
This preserves the receive buffers memory allocation between calls.
- finishedNeighbourSends() method as compact wrapper for
finishedSends() when send/recv ranks are identically
(eg, neighbours)
- hasSendData()/hasRecvData() methods for PstreamBuffers.
Can be useful for some situations to skip reading entirely.
For example,
pBufs.finishedNeighbourSends(neighProcs);
if (!returnReduce(pBufs.hasRecvData(), orOp<bool>()))
{
// Nothing to do
continue;
}
...
On an individual basis:
for (const int proci : pBufs.allProcs())
{
if (pBufs.hasRecvData(proci))
{
...
}
}
Also conceivable to do the following instead (nonBlocking only):
if (!returnReduce(pBufs.hasSendData(), orOp<bool>()))
{
// Nothing to do
pBufs.clear();
continue;
}
pBufs.finishedNeighbourSends(neighProcs);
...
