2D Euler equations - Explosion in a Box
Variation of GuC-Factor (situation at time t=0.5)
Results: 2 Levels / 3 Levels / Variation of Distribution / Variation of GuC-Factor
The Grid-Unit-Coarsening-Factor defines the minimal size of a unit of the base grid that is used for partitioning. For instance, a GuC-Factor =4 means, that units of 4x4 base cells are used. Higher GuC-Factors simplify partitioning, but usually lead to load-imbalance. If a relatively fine base grid is used, larger GuC-Factors can speed up the partitioner drastically (see example Backward facing step). The default value is 2.
Workload for different GuC-factors - Distribution with Hilbert space filling curve. 4 computing nodes are used.
