Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
class Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >

This class manages a memory space in which all particles associated with a ParticleHandler store their properties. It also stores the locations and reference locations of particles.

The rationale for this class is that because typically every particle stores the same number of properties, and because algorithms generally traverse over all particles doing the same operation on all particles' properties, it is more efficient to let the memory used for properties be handled by a central manager. Particles then do not store a pointer to a memory area in which they store their properties, but instead a "handle" that the PropertyPool class then translates into a pointer to concrete memory.

All this said, the current implementation only provides this kind of interface, but still uses simple new/delete allocation for every set of properties requested by a particle. Additionally, the current implementation assumes the same number of properties per particle, but of course the PropertyType could contain a pointer to dynamically allocated memory with varying sizes per particle (this memory would not be managed by this class).

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Handle

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
using Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::Handle = unsigned int

Typedef for the handle that is returned to the particles, and that uniquely identifies the slot of memory that is reserved for this particle.

Definition at line 110 of file property_pool.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PropertyPool()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::PropertyPool ( const unsigned int  n_properties_per_slot)

Constructor. Stores the number of properties per reserved slot.

Definition at line 32 of file property_pool.cc.

◆ ~PropertyPool()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::~PropertyPool

Destructor. This function ensures that all memory that had previously been allocated using allocate_properties_array() has also been returned via deallocate_properties_array().

Definition at line 40 of file property_pool.cc.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clear()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::clear

Clear the dynamic memory allocated by this class. This function ensures that all memory that had previously been allocated using allocate_properties_array() has also been returned via deallocate_properties_array().

◆ register_particle()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

Definition at line 86 of file property_pool.cc.

◆ deregister_particle()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::deregister_particle ( Handle &  handle)

Return a handle obtained by register_particle() and mark the memory allocated for storing the particle's data as free for re-use.

Definition at line 119 of file property_pool.cc.

◆ get_location()

Definition at line 288 of file property_pool.h.

◆ set_location()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::set_location ( const Handle  handle,
const Point< spacedim > &  new_location 
)
inline

Definition at line 311 of file property_pool.h.

◆ get_reference_location()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

Definition at line 335 of file property_pool.h.

◆ set_reference_location()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::set_reference_location ( const Handle  handle,
const Point< dim > &  new_reference_location 
)
inline

Set the reference location of a particle identified by the given handle.

Definition at line 358 of file property_pool.h.

◆ get_id()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
types::particle_index Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::get_id ( const Handle  handle) const
inline

Return the ID number of this particle identified by the given handle.

Definition at line 383 of file property_pool.h.

◆ set_id()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::set_id ( const Handle  handle,
const types::particle_index &  new_id 
)
inline

Set the ID number of this particle identified by the given handle.

Definition at line 406 of file property_pool.h.

◆ get_properties()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
ArrayView< double > Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::get_properties ( const Handle  handle)
inline

Return an ArrayView to the properties that correspond to the given handle handle.

Definition at line 430 of file property_pool.h.

◆ reserve()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::reserve ( const std::size_t  size)

Reserve the dynamic memory needed for storing the properties of size particles.

Definition at line 153 of file property_pool.cc.

◆ n_properties_per_slot()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
unsigned int Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::n_properties_per_slot

Return how many properties are stored per slot in the pool.

Definition at line 165 of file property_pool.cc.

◆ n_slots()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
unsigned int Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::n_slots
inline

Return the total number of slots in the pool, including both registered and unregistered ones.

Definition at line 453 of file property_pool.h.

◆ n_registered_slots()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
unsigned int Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::n_registered_slots

Return how many slots are currently registered in the pool.

Definition at line 174 of file property_pool.cc.

◆ sort_memory_slots()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::PropertyPool< dim, spacedim >::sort_memory_slots ( const std::vector< Handle > &  handles_to_sort)

This function makes sure that all internally stored memory blocks are sorted in the same order as one would loop over the handles_to_sort container. This makes sure memory access is contiguous with actual memory location. Because the ordering is given in the input argument the complexity of this function is \(O(N)\) where \(N\) is the number of elements in the input argument.

Definition at line 195 of file property_pool.cc.
