Functions

std::vector<int32_t> compute_owned_indices(std::span<const std::int32_t> indices, const IndexMap &map)

Given a sorted vector of indices (local numbering, owned or ghost) and an index map, this function returns the indices owned by this process, including indices that might have been in the list of indices on another processes.

Parameters:

  • indices – [in] List of indices

  • map – [in] The index map

Returns:

Indices owned by the calling process

std::tuple<std::int64_t, std::vector<std::int32_t>, std::vector<std::vector<std::int64_t>>, std::vector<std::vector<int>>> stack_index_maps(const std::vector<std::pair<std::reference_wrapper<const IndexMap>, int>> &maps)

Compute layout data and ghost indices for a stacked (concatenated) index map, i.e. ‘splice’ multiple maps into one.

The input maps are concatenated, with indices in maps and owned by the caller remaining owned by the caller. Ghost data is stored at the end of the local range as normal, with the ghosts in blocks in the order of the index maps in maps.

Note

Index maps with a block size are unrolled in the data for the concatenated index map.

Note

Communication is required to compute the new ghost indices.

Parameters:

maps – [in] List of (index map, block size) pairs

Returns:

The (0) global offset of a concatenated map for the calling rank, (1) local offset for the owned indices of each submap in the concatenated map, (2) new indices for the ghosts for each submap, and (3) owner rank of each ghost entry for each submap.

std::pair<IndexMap, std::vector<std::int32_t>> create_sub_index_map(const IndexMap &imap, std::span<const std::int32_t> indices, IndexMapOrder order = IndexMapOrder::any, bool allow_owner_change = false)

Create a new index map from a subset of indices in an existing index map.

Parameters:

  • imap – [in] Parent map to create a new sub-map from.

  • indices – [in] Local indices in imap (owned and ghost) to include in the new index map.

  • order – [in] Control the order in which ghost indices appear in the new map.

  • allow_owner_change – [in] If true, indices that are not included in indices by their owning process can be included in indices by processes that ghost the indices to be included in the new submap. These indices will be owned by one of the sharing processes in the submap. If false, and exception is raised if an index is included by a sharing process and not by the owning process.

Returns:

The (i) new index map and (ii) a map from local indices in the submap to local indices in the original (this) map.

Pre:

indices must be sorted and must not contain duplicates.

class IndexMap
#include <IndexMap.h>

This class represents the distribution index arrays across processes. An index array is a contiguous collection of N+1 indices [0, 1, . . ., N] that are distributed across M processes. On a given process, the IndexMap stores a portion of the index set using local indices [0, 1, . . . , n], and a map from the local indices to a unique global index.

Public Functions

IndexMap(MPI_Comm comm, std::int32_t local_size)

Create an non-overlapping index map.

Note

Collective

Parameters:

  • comm – [in] MPI communicator that the index map is distributed across.

  • local_size – [in] Local size of the index map, i.e. the number of owned entries.

IndexMap(MPI_Comm comm, std::int32_t local_size, std::span<const std::int64_t> ghosts, std::span<const int> owners)

Create an overlapping (ghosted) index map.

This constructor uses a ‘consensus’ algorithm to determine the ranks that ghost indices that are owned by the caller. This requires non-trivial MPI communication. If the ranks that ghost indices owned by the caller are known, it more efficient to use the constructor that takes these ranks as an argument.

Note

Collective

Parameters:

  • comm – [in] MPI communicator that the index map is distributed across.

  • local_size – [in] Local size of the index map, i.e. the number of owned entries

  • ghosts – [in] The global indices of ghost entries

  • owners – [in] Owner rank (on comm) of each entry in ghosts

IndexMap(MPI_Comm comm, std::int32_t local_size, const std::array<std::vector<int>, 2> &src_dest, std::span<const std::int64_t> ghosts, std::span<const int> owners)

Create an overlapping (ghosted) index map.

This constructor is optimised for the case where the ‘source’ (ranks that own indices ghosted by the caller) and ‘destination’ ranks (ranks that ghost indices owned by the caller) are already available. It allows the complex computation of the destination ranks from owners.

Note

Collective

Parameters:

  • comm – [in] MPI communicator that the index map is distributed across.

  • local_size – [in] Local size of the index map, i.e. the number

  • src_dest – [in] Lists of [0] src and [1] dest ranks. The list in each must be sorted and not contain duplicates. src ranks are owners of the indices in ghosts. dest ranks are the rank that ghost indices owned by the caller.

  • ghosts – [in] The global indices of ghost entries

  • owners – [in] Owner rank (on comm) of each entry in ghosts

This function calculates the imbalance separately for owned indices and ghost indices and returns them as a std::array<double, 2>. If the total number of owned or ghost indices is zero, the respective entry in the array is set to -1.

Note

This is a collective operation and must be called by all processes in the communicator associated with the IndexMap.
