Detailed Description

Distribute data among processors.

This filter redistributes data among processors in a parallel application into spatially contiguous vtkUnstructuredGrids. The execution model anticipated is that all processes read in part of a large vtkDataSet. Each process sets the input of filter to be that DataSet. When executed, this filter builds in parallel a k-d tree, decomposing the space occupied by the distributed DataSet into spatial regions. It assigns each spatial region to a processor. The data is then redistributed and the output is a single vtkUnstructuredGrid containing the cells in the process' assigned regions.

This filter is sometimes called "D3" for "distributed data decomposition".

Enhancement: You can set the k-d tree decomposition, rather than have D3 compute it. This allows you to divide a dataset using the decomposition computed for another dataset. Obtain a description of the k-d tree cuts this way:

vtkBSPCuts *cuts = D3Object1->GetCuts()

And set it this way:

D3Object2->SetCuts(cuts)

It is desirable to have a field array of global node IDs for two reasons:

When merging together sub grids that were distributed across processors, global node IDs can be used to remove duplicate points and significantly reduce the size of the resulting output grid. If no such array is available, D3 will use a tolerance to merge points, which is much slower.
If ghost cells have been requested, D3 requires a global node ID array in order to request and transfer ghost cells in parallel among the processors. If there is no global node ID array, D3 will in parallel create a global node ID array, and the time to do this can be significant.

D3 uses vtkPointData::GetGlobalIds to access global node ids from the input. If none is found, and ghost cells have been requested, D3 will create a temporary global node ID array before acquiring ghost cells.

It is also desirable to have global element IDs (vtkCellData::GetGlobalIds). However, if they don't exist D3 can create them relatively quickly.

Warning: The Execute() method must be called by all processes in the parallel application, or it will hang. If you are not certain that your pipeline will execute identically on all processors, you may want to use this filter in an explicit execution mode.

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class.

Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkDataObjectAlgorithm.

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses.

Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Set/Get the communicator object.

vtkPKdTree* vtkDistributedDataFilter::GetKdtree ( )

Get a pointer to the parallel k-d tree object.

Required for changing default behavior for region assignment, changing default depth of tree, or other tree building default parameters. See vtkPKdTree and vtkKdTree for more information about these options. NOTE: Changing the tree returned by this method does NOT change the d3 filter. Make sure to call Modified() on the d3 object if you want it to re-execute.

virtual void vtkDistributedDataFilter::RetainKdtreeOn ( )

When this filter executes, it creates a vtkPKdTree (K-d tree) data structure in parallel which divides the total distributed data set into spatial regions.

The K-d tree object also creates tables describing which processes have data for which regions. Only then does this filter redistribute the data according to the region assignment scheme. By default, the K-d tree structure and it's associated tables are deleted after the filter executes. If you anticipate changing only the region assignment scheme (input is unchanged) and explicitly re-executing, then RetainKdTreeOn, and the K-d tree structure and tables will be saved. Then, when you re-execute, this filter will skip the k-d tree build phase and go straight to redistributing the data according to region assignment. See vtkPKdTree for more information about region assignment.

virtual void vtkDistributedDataFilter::IncludeAllIntersectingCellsOn ( )

virtual

Each cell in the data set is associated with one of the spatial regions of the k-d tree decomposition.

In particular, the cell belongs to the region that it's centroid lies in. When the new vtkUnstructuredGrid is created, by default it is composed of the cells associated with the region(s) assigned to this process. If you also want it to contain cells that intersect these regions, but have their centroid elsewhere, then set this variable on. By default it is off.
