[Trilinos-Users] [EXTERNAL] Zoltan2 RCB Bounding box algorithm not implemented

[Devine, Karen D]

Zoltan2's interface differs from Zoltan's.  Zoltan2 does not use callbacks to implement a partitioning algorithms' model. Instead, it uses adapters that describe the user's data in a way that allows Zoltan2 to implement the model it needs.   Adapters are defined for matrices, meshes, graphs, and vectors.  Specific instantiations are provided for Trilinos classes in Tpetra, Epetra, and Pamgen, as well as data in C-style arrays.  Examples using the adapters are in the directories zoltan2/example and zoltan2/test/partition.

Migration is implemented in the adapters' method applyPartitioningSolution.  An example using this method is in zoltan2/test/partition/partitioning1.cpp.

To help with your transition from Zoltan to Zoltan2, you could transition in stages.  For example, you could use Zoltan2's Multijagged method for partitioning, and Zoltan's Help_Migrate function for the migration.  Or you could use Zoltan's Help_Migrate to implement applyPartitioningSolution in your adapter.  That way, you could test your changes more incrementally.

Karen,

Thanks for the response but I have some more doubts about Zoltan2 implementation.

How do we migrate data in Zoltan2? I couldn't find any function for that. In Zoltan we could attach callbacks to Zoltan handle which would pack data, migrate points and unpack data followed by migration of corresponding cells, bounding boxes etc.

Have the callbacks are completely removed from Zoltan2 or they have not been implemented yet? And how do we perform the migration step in Zoltan2 or we'll have to do it manually? Please share any examples you might have of Zoltan2 for the same.

I suggest you use the multijagged partitioner in Zoltan2.  Like RCB, it is a geometric method, so you would need to change only one parameter to use it (algorithm == multijagged).  The bounding boxes are implemented for multijagged.

Hello all,

I am working on an application <http://github.com/biddisco/pv-zoltan> which partitions the data using Zoltan using RCB algorithm and obtains bounding boxes for each partition. Currently I am trying to replace Zoltan calls by Zoltan2 for my gsoc project. But turns out Zoltan2 is still not fully implemented in Zoltan2.

Zoltan2 has a function getPartBoxesView(). But it has not been implemented for RCB algorithm yet. So it throws runtime error saying "getPartBoxesView is not implemented in selected algorithm".

Can you please guide me how can I solve this problem? Or redirect me to related references/code fragments which might help me implementing this function?
