Detailed Description

A small class collecting the different BlockIndices involved in global, multilevel and local computations.

Once a DoFHandler has been initialized with an FESystem, a data object of type BlockInfo (accessed by DoFHandler::block_info() ) is filled, which reflects the block structure of the degrees of freedom.

BlockInfo consists of several BlockIndices objects. The member global() reflects the block structure of the system on the active cell level, usually referred to as the global system. As soon as DoFHandler::distribute_dofs() has been called, the function BlockIndices::block_size() in global() will return the correct sizes of each block. After DoFRenumbering::block_wise(), BlockIndices::block_start() will return the start index for each of the blocks.

When a DoFHandler with levels is used, the same structure is automatically generated for each level. The level blocks can be accessed through level().

Finally, there are local() BlockIndices, which describe the block structure on a single cell. This is used for instance by MeshWorker::Assembler::MatrixLocalBlocksToGlobalBlocks. The local indices are not filled automatically, since they change the behavior of the MeshWorker::Assembler classes relying on BlockInfo. They must be initialized by hand through initialize_local().

Usage

The most common usage for this object is initializing vectors as in the following code:

DoFHandler<dim> dof_handler(triangulation);
dof_handler.distribute_dofs(fe_system);
dof_handler.distribute_mg_dofs(fe_system);
DoFRenumbering::block_wise(dof_handler);
 
BlockVector<double> solution(dof_handler.block_info().global());
 
MGLevelObject<BlockVector<double> > mg_vector(0, triangulation.n_levels()-1);
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < triangulation.n_levels(); ++i)
  {
    mg_vector[i].reinit(dof_handler.block_info().level(i));
  }

In this example, solution obtains the block structure needed to represent a finite element function on the DoFHandler. Similarly, all levels of mg_vector will have the block structure needed on that level.

Todo

Extend the functions local() and renumber() to allow for hp-capablilites.

Member Function Documentation

initialize()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void BlockInfo::initialize	(	const DoFHandler< dim, spacedim > &	dof,
		bool	levels_only = false,
		bool	active_only = false )

Fill the object with values describing block structure of the DoFHandler.

By default, this function will attempt to initialize whatever is possible. If active dofs have been assigned int the DoFHandler argument, they BlockIndices for those will be generated. The same for level dofs.

This default behavior can be overridden by the two parameters, which can switch off active dofs or level dofs.

This function will also clear the local() indices.

Definition at line 29 of file block_info.cc.

initialize_local()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void BlockInfo::initialize_local

(

const DoFHandler< dim, spacedim > &

dof

)

Initialize block structure on cells and compute renumbering between cell dofs and block cell dofs.

Definition at line 61 of file block_info.cc.

global()

const BlockIndices & BlockInfo::global ( ) const

inline

Access the BlockIndices structure of the global system.

Definition at line 221 of file block_info.h.

local()

const BlockIndices & BlockInfo::local ( ) const

inline

Access BlockIndices for the local system on a cell.

Definition at line 228 of file block_info.h.

level()

const BlockIndices & BlockInfo::level ( unsigned int level ) const

inline

Access the BlockIndices structure of a level in the multilevel hierarchy.

Definition at line 235 of file block_info.h.

renumber()

types::global_dof_index BlockInfo::renumber ( const unsigned int i ) const

inline

Return the index after local renumbering.

The input of this function is an index between zero and the number of dofs per cell, numbered in local block ordering, that is first all indices of the first system block, then all of the second block and so forth. The function then outputs the index in the standard local numbering of DoFAccessor.

Definition at line 243 of file block_info.h.

n_base_elements()

unsigned int BlockInfo::n_base_elements ( ) const

inline

The number of base elements.

Definition at line 260 of file block_info.h.

base_element()

unsigned int BlockInfo::base_element ( const unsigned int i ) const

inline

Return the base element of this index.

Definition at line 251 of file block_info.h.

print()

template<class OS >

void BlockInfo::print ( OS & stream ) const

inline

Write a summary of the block structure to the stream.

Definition at line 269 of file block_info.h.

memory_consumption()

std::size_t BlockInfo::memory_consumption ( ) const

inline

Determine an estimate for the memory consumption (in bytes) of this object.

Definition at line 301 of file block_info.h.

serialize()

template<class Archive >

void BlockInfo::serialize	(	Archive &	ar,
		const unsigned int	)

Read or write the data of this object to or from a stream for the purpose of serialization using the BOOST serialization library.

Definition at line 312 of file block_info.h.

subscribe()

void Subscriptor::subscribe ( std::atomic< bool > *const validity, const std::string & identifier = "" ) const

inherited

Subscribes a user of the object by storing the pointer validity. The subscriber may be identified by text supplied as identifier.

Definition at line 135 of file subscriptor.cc.

unsubscribe()

void Subscriptor::unsubscribe ( std::atomic< bool > *const validity, const std::string & identifier = "" ) const

inherited

Unsubscribes a user from the object.

Note

The identifier and the validity pointer must be the same as the one supplied to subscribe().

Definition at line 155 of file subscriptor.cc.

n_subscriptions()

unsigned int Subscriptor::n_subscriptions ( ) const

inlineinherited

Return the present number of subscriptions to this object. This allows to use this class for reference counted lifetime determination where the last one to unsubscribe also deletes the object.

Definition at line 300 of file subscriptor.h.

list_subscribers() [1/2]

template<typename StreamType >

void Subscriptor::list_subscribers ( StreamType & stream ) const

inlineinherited

List the subscribers to the input stream.

Definition at line 317 of file subscriptor.h.

list_subscribers() [2/2]

void Subscriptor::list_subscribers ( ) const

inherited

List the subscribers to deallog.

Definition at line 203 of file subscriptor.cc.

check_no_subscribers()

void Subscriptor::check_no_subscribers ( ) const

privatenoexceptinherited

Check that there are no objects subscribing to this object. If this check passes then it is safe to destroy the current object. It this check fails then this function will either abort or print an error message to deallog (by using the AssertNothrow mechanism), but will not throw an exception.

Note

Since this function is just a consistency check it does nothing in release mode.

If this function is called when there is an uncaught exception then, rather than aborting, this function prints an error message to the standard error stream and returns.

counter

std::atomic<unsigned int> Subscriptor::counter

mutableprivateinherited

Store the number of objects which subscribed to this object. Initially, this number is zero, and upon destruction it shall be zero again (i.e. all objects which subscribed should have unsubscribed again).

The creator (and owner) of an object is counted in the map below if HE manages to supply identification.

We use the mutable keyword in order to allow subscription to constant objects also.

This counter may be read from and written to concurrently in multithreaded code: hence we use the std::atomic class template.

counter_map

std::map<std::string, unsigned int> Subscriptor::counter_map

mutableprivateinherited

In this map, we count subscriptions for each different identification string supplied to subscribe().

validity_pointers

std::vector<std::atomic<bool> *> Subscriptor::validity_pointers

mutableprivateinherited

In this vector, we store pointers to the validity bool in the SmartPointer objects that subscribe to this class.

Definition at line 240 of file subscriptor.h.

object_info

const std::type_info* Subscriptor::object_info

mutableprivateinherited

Pointer to the typeinfo object of this object, from which we can later deduce the class name. Since this information on the derived class is neither available in the destructor, nor in the constructor, we obtain it in between and store it here.

Definition at line 248 of file subscriptor.h.

mutex

std::mutex Subscriptor::mutex

staticprivateinherited

A mutex used to ensure data consistency when accessing the mutable members of this class. This lock is used in the subscribe() and unsubscribe() functions, as well as in list_subscribers().
