Jacek A. Jankowski. Parallel streamline tracking for Telemac, 15th Telemac User Club, Chatou, 9-10 October 2008.
The Telemac adaptation of the parallel streamline tracking algorithm for the domain decomposition method, originally developed for the MPI version of UnTRIM, is described in detail. Continue reading
Jacek A. Jankowski. Verification and validation of the parallel UnTRIM, 5th UnTRIM Workshop, Trento, 19-21 May 2008.
A new UnTRIM version has been released (see Casulli 2008), featuring better data locality, improved interpolations in the advection scheme and, the most important, a radically new mass-conservative iterative approach to drying and wetting treatment based on Newton iterations with a proven convergence. In the presentation, detailed issues detected during the verification and validation of the refreshed MPI-parallel “2009” version of UnTRIM are presented, treated and resolved. Continue reading
Jacek A. Jankowski. Parallel streamline tracking for UnTRIM, 4th UnTRIM Workshop, Trento, 7-9 May 2007.
The parallel streamline tracking algorithm for the domain decomposition method applied in the MPI version of UnTRIM, is described in detail. The streamline tracking is the integral part of the semi-Lagrangian method of characteristics, being one of the most robust methods for the non-linear momentum advection, working also for larger Courant numbers. The method is however awkward to parallelise in the framework of the point-to-point communication typical for the domain decomposition method. Continue reading
Jacek A. Jankowski. UnTRIM parallelization with message passing, 3rd UnTRIM Workshop, Trento, 15-17 May 2006.
This is a second part of the UnTRIM parallelisation project presentations — for the background, see the previous post. The most important issue addressed so far concerns absolving a number of stringent verification tests applied for checking the parallel implementation correctness as well as the user steering of the model.

Jacek A. Jankowski. UnTRIM parallelization with message passing, 2nd UnTRIM Workshop, Sirmione, 23-25 May 2005.
The main ideas behind the parallelisation of UnTRIM applying the domain decomposition method and the message passing (MPI) are discussed. The issues concerning the mesh partitioning, point-to-point communication over the mesh-overlapping areas (halos) for purely triangular and mixed (triangles and quadrangles) meshes and the problems connected with the Lagrangian advection scheme are thoroughly described.
