Under the following restrictions I contend it'll be "easy": (1) checkpoint/reload is restricted to the same number of processors, & (2) you always have an XDA mesh to go along with an XDA solution. The biggest pain will be refined meshes. Depending on Serial vs. parallel mesh, I do not think there is a guarantee that iterating through the elements as contained in the mesh guarantees children come before parents. Especially for the parallel mesh, we are just iterating through a map of some unknown type (std::map, hash_map, unordered_map I think). Reconstructing the proper refinement hierarchy when the elements are read in a random order is going to be the tricky part. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
