Hello all, I am using deal.ii to solve a 3D solid mechanics problem. I am using Petsc and P4est along with deal.ii
There is a previous post <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/dealii/hdf5%7Csort:relevance/dealii/_51WLg4jDGI/yvFDxSLeTswJ> related to my query but it does not talk in detail about using hdf5. My code currently follows step 40 and outputs one vtu file from each processor and one pvtu file from a rank 0 processor. However, as the number of processors grow, this is generating huge number of files as output which inturn takes a lot of time to copy / move to my desktop for postprocessing. Also, if I output data from multiple equations (being solved concurrently), the mesh data is replicated in each of these files. I came across using hdf5 which might solve this issue. Since there is no example that demonstrates the use of hdf5, I have a a question before I start exploring and using it. Will this output just 1 file independent of the number of processors on which the code is run ? This is a source file of aspect <https://github.com/geodynamics/aspect/blob/6db2fa985d24f7d4e60dc8cde9b9a2d63817113b/source/particle/output/hdf5.cc> that demonstrates using hdf5 in detail. Also, for snapshot creation and restart purposes, I output 1 file from each processor containing gauss point data at a current time step. This is also not scalable for the same reasons. Is there any way that I can get only 1 file (or maximum 1 file per node) that contains the data from all the gauss points spread over multiple processors ? Or can this data be included while doing triangulation.save() which saves triangulation and data that is associated with it using Parallel solution transfer class ?
