Anytime a parallel::TriangulationBase is repartitioned, either upon request or by refinement/coarsening, cells will be distributed amongst all subdomains to achieve an equally balanced workload. By default, if you don't do anything specific, the workload is assumed to be the same for every cell of the triangulation, and in that case a well-balanced mesh will have about the same number of cells on each process. But, if the workload per cell varies, which is in general the case for DoFHandler objects that hp-capabilities (i.e., where you use different finite elements on different cells), we can take that into account by introducing individual weights for different cells.
This class allows computing these weights for load balancing by consulting the FiniteElement that is associated with each cell of a DoFHandler. One can choose from predefined weighting algorithms provided by this class or provide a custom one.
If the associated DoFHandler has not been initialized yet, i.e., its hp::FECollection is empty, all cell weights will be evaluated as zero.
This class offers two different ways of connecting the chosen weighting function to the corresponding signal of the linked parallel::TriangulationBase. The recommended way involves creating an object of this class which will automatically take care of registering the weighting function upon creation and de-registering it once destroyed. An object of this class needs to exist for every DoFHandler associated with the Triangulation we work on to achieve satisfying work balancing results. The connected weighting function may be changed anytime using the CellWeights::reinit() function. The following code snippet demonstrates how to achieve each cell being weighted by its current number of degrees of freedom.
On the other hand, you are also able to take care of handling the signal connection manually by using the static member function of this class. In this case, an analogous code example looks as follows.
The use of this class is demonstrated in step-75.

using parallel::CellWeights< dim, spacedim >::WeightingFunction |
An alias that defines the characteristics of a function that can be used for weighting cells during load balancing.
Such weighting functions take as arguments an iterator to a cell and the future finite element that will be assigned to it after repartitioning. They return an unsigned integer which is interpreted as the cell's weight or, in other words, the additional computational load associated with it.

The pair of floating point numbers \((a,b)\) provided via coefficients
determines the weight \(w_K\) of each cell \(K\) with \(n_K\) degrees of freedom in the following way:
\[ w_K = a \, n_K^b \]
The right hand side will be rounded to the nearest integer since cell weights are required to be integers.

The container coefficients
provides pairs of floating point numbers \((a_i, b_i)\) that determine the weight \(w_K\) of each cell \(K\) with \(n_K\) degrees of freedom in the following way:
\[ w_K = \sum_i a_i \, n_K^{b_i} \]
The right hand side will be rounded to the nearest integer since cell weights are required to be integers.

A callback function that will be connected to the weight
signal of the triangulation
, to which the dof_handler
is attached. Ultimately returns the weight for each cell, determined by the weighting_function
provided as a parameter. Returns zero if dof_handler
