Original OpenCMISS Redevelopment Notes

Goals

• The possible scope of the CMISS redevelopment project.
• Desired possible outcomes of the CMISS redevelopment project.
• Our initial development program.

Plans

• Development steps including progress.
• Technical committee meetings.
• An early list subprojects for development of distributed parallelization.
• Andre's notes on the initial test application using CMGUI data structures in the solution of a static Laplace model: cm-cmgui.
• The original "Strategy for Introducing Distributed Memory Multiprocessing to

CMISS":http:/cm/wiki/StrategyForIntroducingDistributedMemoryMultiprocessingToCMISS has now been changed to start afresh rather than evolve from cm, but many of the notes are still valid.

Data structure design

• cmgui data structures
• cm field parameters
• FieldML concepts
• Dave's FMLConcept

Languages

• Coding language
• C++ Versus F95
• A discussion on issues with interfaces between C and Fortran.

Software Resources

• Other software projects which may be worth evaluating for use or comparison:
  • References
  • Discussion of project management software.
  • Scientific Modelling Software is mainly finite element software.
  • Parallel Sparse Matrix Packages: Available Packages
  • Parallel Linear Solvers: Solver Libraries
• Notes and Guidelines
  • Some notes on setting up and using MPICH2, a freely available, portable implementation of MPI.
  • OpenCMISS/libMesh Development Notes
