@ -20,7 +20,8 @@ The disadvantages:
- a patch-wise loop now might need to store data to go to the neighbour half
since it is no longer handled in a single patch.
- decomposed cyclics now require overlapping communications so will
only work in non-blocking mode. Hence the underlying message passing library
only work in 'nonBlocking' mode or 'blocking' (=buffered) mode but not
in 'scheduled' mode. The underlying message passing library
will require overlapping communications with message tags.
- it is quite a code-change and there might be some oversights.
- once converted (see foamUpgradeCyclics below) cases are not backwards

- processor patches use overlapping communication using a different message
tag. This maps straight through into the MPI message tag.
See processorCyclicPolyPatch::tag(). This needs to be calculated the
same on both sides so is calculated as
Pstream::nProcs()*max(myProcNo, neighbProcNo)
+ min(myProcNo, neighbProcNo)
which is
- unique
- commutative
- does not interfere with the default tag (= 1)
tag. This maps straight through into the MPI message tag. Each processor
'interface' (processorPolyPatch, processorFvPatch, etc.) has a 'tag()'
to use for communication.
- when constructing a GeometricField from a dictionary it will explicitly
check for non-existing entries for cyclic patches and exit with an error message

to run a case which has split cyclics)
