[aspect-devel] Will setting 'Tracer weight = 10' improve the performance of the particle generation algorithm on a uniform grid?

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Hi,

I'm a member of Professor Puckett's Summer REU group working on
benchmarking the active particles.

We're looking at the *.prm file

    https://github.com/geodynamics/aspect/blob/master/tests/
particle_load_balancing_repartition.prm.8.4

and wondering if setting ' Tracer weight = 10'

      subsection Tracers
        set Number of tracers = 100
        set Time between data output = 1
        set Load balancing strategy = repartition
        set Data output format = none
        set Tracer weight = 10
        set Integration scheme = euler
      end

will improve the performance of the particle generation algorithm on a
uniform grid?

Also, is there any documentation regarding how to best scale the use of
particles on a distributed memory cluster?


Sincerely,

Ngoc Nguyen
