Detailed Description

Scotch domain decomposition.

When run in parallel will collect the whole graph on to the master, decompose and send back. Use ptscotchDecomp for proper distributed decomposition.

Coefficients dictionary: scotchCoeffs, coeffs.

Quoting from the Scotch forum, on the 2008-08-22 10:09, Francois PELLEGRINI posted the following details:

RE: Graph mapping 'strategy' string

Strategy handling in Scotch is a bit tricky. In order
not to be confused, you must have a clear view of how they are built.
Here are some rules:

1- Strategies are made up of "methods" which are combined by means of
"operators".

2- A method is of the form "m{param=value,param=value,...}", where "m"
is a single character (this is your first error: "f" is a method name,
not a parameter name).

3- There exist different sort of strategies : bipartitioning strategies,
mapping strategies, ordering strategies, which cannot be mixed. For
instance, you cannot build a bipartitioning strategy and feed it to a
mapping method (this is your second error).

To use the "mapCompute" routine, you must create a mapping strategy, not
a bipartitioning one, and so use stratGraphMap() and not
stratGraphBipart(). Your mapping strategy should however be based on the
"recursive bipartitioning" method ("b"). For instance, a simple (and
hence not very efficient) mapping strategy can be :

"b{sep=f}"

which computes mappings with the recursive bipartitioning method "b",
this latter using the Fiduccia-Mattheyses method "f" to compute its
separators.

If you want an exact partition (see your previous post), try
"b{sep=fx}".

However, these strategies are not the most efficient, as they do not
make use of the multi-level framework.

To use the multi-level framework, try for instance:

"b{sep=m{vert=100,low=h,asc=f}x}"

The current default mapping strategy in Scotch can be seen by using the
"-vs" option of program gmap. It is, to date:

r
{
    job=t,
    map=t,
    poli=S,
    sep=
    (
        m
        {
            asc=b
            {
                bnd=
                (
                    d{pass=40,dif=1,rem=1}
                 |
                )
                f{move=80,pass=-1,bal=0.002491},
                org=f{move=80,pass=-1,bal=0.002491},
                width=3
            },
            low=h{pass=10}
            f{move=80,pass=-1,bal=0.002491},
            type=h,
            vert=80,
            rat=0.8
        }
      | m
        {
            asc=b
            {
                bnd=
                (
                    d{pass=40,dif=1,rem=1}
                  |
                )
                f{move=80,pass=-1,bal=0.002491},
                org=f{move=80,pass=-1,bal=0.002491},
                width=3
            },
            low=h{pass=10}
            f{move=80,pass=-1,bal=0.002491},
            type=h,
            vert=80,
            rat=0.8
        }
    )
}

Given that this information was written in 2008, this example strategy will unlikely work as-is with the more recent Scotch versions. Therefore, the steps for getting the current default strategy from within Scotch, is to do the following steps:

Edit the file system/decomposeParDict and use the following settings:
```
method          scotch;

scotchCoeffs
{
    writeGraph true;
}
```
Run decomposePar. For example, it will write a file named region0.grf.
Now, instead of using gmap, run gpart with the following command structure to get the default strategy:
```
gpart \<nProcs\> -vs \<grfFile\>
```
where:
- <grfFile> is the file that was obtained with the option writeGraph=true, namely region0.grf.
- <nProcs> is the numberOfSubdomains defined in the dictionary file.
At the end of the execution will be shown a long string, similar to the following example (complete line was cropped at [...]):
```
S    Strat=m{asc=b{width=3,bnd=d{pass=40,dif=1,rem=0}[...],type=h}
```

Edit the file system/decomposeParDict once again and add the strategy entry as exemplified:

method          scotch;

scotchCoeffs
{
    //writeGraph true;
    strategy "m{asc=b{width=3,bnd=d{pass=40,dif=1,rem=0}[...],type=h}";
}

Finally, run decomposePar once again, to at least test if it works as intended.

Note: gpart can be found in the current search path by adding the respective bin folder from the Scotch installation, namely by running the following commands:

source $(foamEtcFile config.sh/scotch)
export PATH=$PATH:$SCOTCH_ARCH_PATH/bin
