From a serial file the global ids are inferred, for the parallel case I don't see a reason we couldn't include a unique global id too. > It should go: > > Meta Data > Nodes > Elements > BCs The idea here is we can optionally support a partition file, which defines element ownership. This could allow the elements to be shipped off first in the case of a serial read, or read only on the processors that need them. The important subset of nodes can then be determined. Reading the nodes first would require caching all of them until you know which ones you can discard. Or closing the buffer and doing some seek business. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
