FACE_SPMD <br> SPMD Labs Cooperate to Find a Boundary
</h1>
<hr>
<p>
<b>FACE_SPMD</b>
is a MATLAB program which
uses the <b>SPMD</b> (single program, multiple data) command
so that multiple MATLAB workers or "labs" can cooperate in a task.
</p>
<p>
A rectangular box, of dimensions 1x1x3, has been subdivided into
tetrahedral elements. These elements are defined by
<ul>
<li>
<b>x</b>, a list of 3D point coordinates.
</li>
<li>
<b>e_conn</b>, a list of sets of 4 point indices, representing
the four points that define each tetrahedron.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
It is desired to determine the triangular faces that lie on a
boundary face of the box. The boundary face is described by the
variable (one of X, Y, or Z) that is held constant, along with bounds
for the other two variables. Thus, the output of the program will
be a list of triples of point indices, with each triple representing
a triangular face of a tetrahedron.
</p>
<p>
The function has the form:
<blockquote>
<i>F_conn</i> = <b>face_fun</b> ( <i>x</i>, <i>e_conn</i>, <i>ii</i>, <i>val_ii</i>,
<i>xj_lb</i>, <i>xj_ub</i>, <i>xk_lb</i>, <i>xk_ub</i> )
</blockquote>
where
<ul>
<li>
<i>x</i>, the list of 3D point coordinates.
</li>
<li>
<i>e_conn</i>, a list of sets of 4 point indices, representing
the four points that define each tetrahedron.
</li>
<li>
<i>ii</i>, the index of the "I" variable, which is constant on the
boundary plane. If the constant variable is X, then II is 1, and so on.
</li>
<li>
<i>val_ii</i>, the value of the constant "I" variable.
</li>
<li>
<i>xj_lb</i>, <i>xj_ub</i>, the upper and lower bounds
for the "J" nonconstant variable.
</li>
<li>
<i>xk_lb</i>, <i>xk_ub</i>, the upper and lower bounds
for the "K" nonconstant variable.
</li>
</ul>
The "J" and "K" variables are the first and second variables to follow
the "I" variable, assuming that we are counting with wrap around.
There are thus three possibilities for I, J and K:
<pre>
I J K
-- -- --
1 2 3
2 3 1
3 1 2
</pre>
</p>
<p>
Depending on the situation, the function could be executed in parallel:
<ul>
<li>
interactively, and locally, using the <b>matlabpool</b> command;
</li>
<li>
indirectly, and locally, using the <b>batch</b> command;
</li>
<li>
indirectly, and on the Ithaca cluster, using the <b>batch</b> command;
</li>
</ul>
