- combined most of the unweighted and weighted decomposition routines
such that an empty weight field is treated as uniform weighting.
This allows default parameters and cuts down on the number of
decompose methods.
- for topology-driven decomposition, it is now possible to pass in the
owner/neighbour connectivity as a CompactListList directly instead
of first creating a labelListList (which was internally repacked into
a CompactListList in many cases).
However, multiLevelDecomp still uses unpacking (to avoid a larger
reworking of code).
- support direct creation of some methods (eg, random, scotch etc)
without a dictionary
- fix incorrect neighbour face weighting (fixes#3019)
ENH: relocate calcCellCells from decompositionMethod to globalMeshData
- makes it more universally available
- make regionName an optional constructor parameter, which eliminates
a separate set of constructors and construction tables. Adjust
internals to treat a missing/empty regionName as a no-op.
- pass in fallback dictionary content via new IOdictionary constructor
with a pointer
ENH: further relax check for matching number of processor dirs
- if the "numberOfSubdomains" entry is missing (or even zero)
ignore checks of processor dirs as meaningless.
Within decomposeParDict, it is now possible to specify a different
decomposition method, methods coefficients or number of subdomains
for each region individually.
The top-level numberOfSubdomains remains mandatory, since this
specifies the number of domains for the entire simulation.
The individual regions may use the same number or fewer domains.
Any optional method coefficients can be specified in a general
"coeffs" entry or a method-specific one, eg "metisCoeffs".
For multiLevel, only the method-specific "multiLevelCoeffs" dictionary
is used, and is also mandatory.
----
ENH: shortcut specification for multiLevel.
In addition to the longer dictionary form, it is also possible to
use a shorter notation for multiLevel decomposition when the same
decomposition method applies to each level.
