Collects the options for initialization of the MatrixFree class. The first parameter specifies the MPI communicator to be used, the second the parallelization options in shared memory (task-based parallelism, where one can choose between no parallelism and three schemes that avoid that cells with access to the same vector entries are accessed simultaneously), the third with the block size for task parallel scheduling, the fourth the update flags that should be stored by this class.
The fifth parameter specifies the level in the triangulation from which the indices are to be used. If the level is set to numbers::invalid_unsigned_int, the active cells are traversed, and otherwise the cells in the given level. This option has no effect in case a DoFHandler or hp::DoFHandler is given.
The parameter initialize_plain_indices
indicates whether the DoFInfo class should also allow for access to vectors without resolving constraints.
The last two parameters allow the user to disable some of the initialization processes. For example, if only the scheduling that avoids touching the same vector/matrix indices simultaneously is to be found, the mapping needs not be initialized. Likewise, if the mapping has changed from one iteration to the next but the topology has not (like when using a deforming mesh with MappingQEulerian), it suffices to initialize the mapping only.

mpi_communicator
should not be specified here since it is not used in the MatrixFree class. Definition at line 199 of file matrix_free.h.
MPI_Comm MatrixFree< dim, Number >::AdditionalData::mpi_communicator |
Set the MPI communicator that the parallel layout of the operator should be based upon. Defaults to MPI_COMM_SELF, but should be set to a communicator similar to the one used for a distributed triangulation in order to inform this class over all cells that are present.
mpi_communicator
is automatically set to the one used by the triangulation. Definition at line 227 of file matrix_free.h.
TasksParallelScheme MatrixFree< dim, Number >::AdditionalData::tasks_parallel_scheme |
Set the scheme for task parallelism. There are four options available. If set to none
, the operator application is done in serial without shared memory parallelism. If this class is used together with MPI and MPI is also used for parallelism within the nodes, this flag should be set to none
. The default value is partition_partition
, i.e. we actually use multithreading with the first option described below.
The first option partition_partition
is to partition the cells on two levels in onion-skin-like partitions and forming chunks of tasks_block_size after the partitioning. The partitioning finds sets of independent cells that enable working in parallel without accessing the same vector entries at the same time.
The second option partition_color
is to use a partition on the global level and color cells within the partitions (where all chunks within a color are independent). Here, the subdivision into chunks of cells is done before the partitioning, which might give worse partitions but better cache performance if degrees of freedom are not renumbered.
The third option color
is to use a traditional algorithm of coloring on the global level. This scheme is a special case of the second option where only one partition is present. Note that for problems with hanging nodes, there are quite many colors (50 or more in 3D), which might degrade parallel performance (bad cache behavior, many synchronization points).
Definition at line 257 of file matrix_free.h.
unsigned int MatrixFree< dim, Number >::AdditionalData::tasks_block_size |
Set the number of so-called macro cells that should form one partition. If zero size is given, the class tries to find a good size for the blocks based on MultithreadInfo::n_threads() and the number of cells present. Otherwise, the given number is used. If the given number is larger than one third of the number of total cells, this means no parallelism. Note that in the case vectorization is used, a macro cell consists of more than one physical cell.
Definition at line 268 of file matrix_free.h.
UpdateFlags MatrixFree< dim, Number >::AdditionalData::mapping_update_flags |
This flag is used to determine which quantities should be cached. This class can cache data needed for gradient computations (inverse Jacobians), Jacobian determinants (JxW), quadrature points as well as data for Hessians (derivative of Jacobians). By default, only data for gradients and Jacobian determinants times quadrature weights, JxW, are cached. If quadrature points or second derivatives are needed, they must be specified by this field (even though second derivatives might still be evaluated on Cartesian cells without this option set here, since there the Jacobian describes the mapping completely).
Definition at line 281 of file matrix_free.h.
unsigned int MatrixFree< dim, Number >::AdditionalData::level_mg_handler |
This option can be used to define whether we work on a certain level of the mesh, and not the active cells. If set to invalid_unsigned_int (which is the default value), the active cells are gone through, otherwise the level given by this parameter. Note that if you specify to work on a level, its dofs must be distributed by using dof_handler.distribute_mg_dofs(fe);
.

bool MatrixFree< dim, Number >::AdditionalData::store_plain_indices |
Controls whether to allow reading from vectors without resolving constraints, i.e., just read the local values of the vector. By default, this option is disabled, so if you want to use FEEvaluationBase::read_dof_values_plain, this flag needs to be set.
Definition at line 299 of file matrix_free.h.
bool MatrixFree< dim, Number >::AdditionalData::initialize_indices |
Option to control whether the indices stored in the DoFHandler should be read and the pattern for task parallelism should be set up in the initialize method of MatrixFree. Defaults to true. Can be disabled in case the mapping should be recomputed (e.g. when using a deforming mesh described through MappingEulerian) but the topology of cells has remained the same.
Definition at line 309 of file matrix_free.h.
bool MatrixFree< dim, Number >::AdditionalData::initialize_mapping |
Option to control whether the mapping information should be computed in the initialize method of MatrixFree. Defaults to true. Can be disabled when only some indices should be set up (e.g. when only a set of independent cells should be computed).
