Dear friends,
we would like to let you know first, that deal.II 6.3.0 has been
released this weekend. It is available for download at the usual
place. The official announcement is pasted below.
We would like to thank everybody, who have contributed to the
library. This new release would not have been possible without your
help, fixing bugs, improving functionality, writing example and test
programs and even reshaping major parts of the basic structure. We
deeply appreciate your commitment.
With best regards,
Guido, Wolfgang and Ralf.
Version 6.3 of deal.II, the object-oriented finite element library
awarded the J. H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software, has
been released. It is available for free under an OpenSource license
from the deal.II home-page at
http://www.dealii.org/
Major new features of version 6.3 are:
- Extension of the existing multigrid infrastructure to adaptively
refined meshes with continuous elements
- The incorporation of the Intel Threading Building Blocks for scalable,
task-based parallelism on multicore machines throughout the library
- A whole new framework with generic loops, simplifying integrals over meshes
- 4 new extensively documented tutorial programs demonstrating multigrid on
adaptive meshes, projection solvers for the Navier-Stokes equations,
eigenvalue problems, and matrix free methods
- Some 100 new functions, classes, and bug fixes.
All main features of the previous versions have been continued and improved:
- Support for dimension-independent programming
- Extensive documentation and working example programs
- Multigrid support
- Locally refined grids
- A zoo of different finite elements
- Fast linear algebra
- Built-in support for symmetric multi-processing (SMP) and distributed
computing
- Interfaces to Trilinos, PETSc, METIS, UMFPACK and other external software
- Output for a wide variety of visualization platforms.
Wolfgang Bangerth, Guido Kanschat, Ralf Hartmann, and many others who
contributed.
