• Document for hybrid programming (proposed work)

Implementation

I/O code

• I/O functions were initiated from cem_out function of cem_dg.F (and cem_dg2.F).
• Implementation of parallel I/O routine were defined in vtkbin.c and rbIO_nekcem.c
• vtkcommon.c and vtkcommon.h serve as a place to hold common functions as well as global variables.
  

• cem_out_fields3 (in cem_dg.F)
  • openfile3(dumpno, nid) !vtkbin.c
  • vtk_dump_header3
    • writeheader3() !vtkbin.c
    • writenodes3() !vtkbin.c
    • write2dcells3 !vtkbin.c
      or write3dcells3 !vtkbin.c
  • vtk_dump_field3
    • writefield3 !vtkbin.c
  • close_file3 !vtkbin.c

• Binary file → ASCII file: transfer double/float/int/read to chars then write out
  • float (4 bytes) → %18.8E
  • int (4 bytes) → %10d
  • long long (8 bytes) → %18lld
  • elemType → %4d

NekCEM notes for myself

• .box → num elements in x,y,z
• .rea → input data
• SIZEu → SIZE parameters:
  • lp = #proc
  • lelx = 20 each dimension
  • lelv = alloc max # of element per proc
• .usr → subuser.F
• cem() in cem_dg.F is the main solver and application entry point

• only CELL and point data need to be re-computed

To-do List

• More tests on BG/P for config with ng = M and 1< nf < M
• Tests on Kraken and Jaguar
• Pthread + MPI for I/O
• OpenMP/Pthread + MPI for NekCEM computation
• Parallel I/O for reading .rea file

Some notes

• Fortran generated binary file may not be correctly read in C.
• -lstdc++ for link
• libF77 and libI77
• common.h and common_c.h
• write() in Fortran: 6 refer to screen, * is to screen as well ..
