- for contiguous data, added mpiGatherOp() to complement the
gatherOp() static method
- the gather ops (static methods) populate the globalIndex on the
master only (not needed on other procs) for reduced communication
- rename inplace gather methods to include 'inplace' in their name.
Regular gather methods return the gathered data directly, which
allows the following:
const scalarField mergedWeights(globalFaces().gather(wghtSum));
vs.
scalarField mergedWeights;
globalFaces().gather(wghtSum, mergedWeights());
or even:
scalarField mergedWeights;
List<scalarField> allWeights(Pstream::nProcs());
allWeights[Pstream::myProcNo()] = wghtSum;
Pstream::gatherList(allWeights);
if (Pstream::master())
{
mergedWeights =
ListListOps::combine<scalarField>
(
allWeights, accessOp<scalarField>()
);
}
- add parRun guards on various globalIndex gather methods
(simple copies or no-ops in serial) to simplify the effort for callers.
