Hi Zp,

Thanks for the hint, I hadn't expected that, and was using rk4.

Hi Burlen:
Have you tried the RK-45 integrator? It uses an adaptive step size and hence in many cases makes streamline integration faster than the other two modes (RK-2 and RK-4)? I agree with John in that the low performance exhibited to us might be caused by 'other' (data-depenent) components than the inherent integration part itself, e.g., point location and cell location in an unstructured grid (which are cetainly also related to streamline integration). Thanks. -Zhanping

    We've been using the distributed stream tracer to generate
    100s-1000s of stream lines per time step. It's very slow, and it
    doesn't scale at all.  The class comments say as much. I'm sure
    there is a reason why this implementation was chosen. Is there
    something that generally prevents real parallel implementation? Is
    there a better implementation available out there?

    There is this post a while back

    What's the status?

    Thanks
    Burlen
