Detailed Description

template<class PROBLEM_CLASS>
class CardiacSimulationArchiver< PROBLEM_CLASS >

CardiacSimulationArchiver is a helper class for checkpointing of cardiac simulations.

The class is templated over the class defining the simulation (e.g. MonodomainProblem). It would be more natural to template over dimensions as for other classes, and just deal with pointers to AbstractCardiacProblem. However, this breaks archive backwards compatibility...

Member Function Documentation

template<class PROBLEM_CLASS >
PROBLEM_CLASS * CardiacSimulationArchiver< PROBLEM_CLASS >::Load ( const std::string &  rDirectory)
static

Unarchives a simulation from the directory specified.

Does a migrate if necessary (this is actually just a wrapper around the Migrate method now).

Note
Must be called collectively, i.e. by all processes.
Parameters
rDirectorydirectory where the multiple files defining the checkpoint are located (relative to CHASTE_TEST_OUTPUT)
Returns
a pointer to the unarchived cardiac problem class

Definition at line 103 of file CardiacSimulationArchiver.cpp.

template<class PROBLEM_CLASS >
PROBLEM_CLASS * CardiacSimulationArchiver< PROBLEM_CLASS >::Load ( const FileFinder &  rDirectory)
static

Unarchives a simulation from the directory specified.

Does a migrate if necessary (this is actually just a wrapper around the Migrate method now).

Note
Must be called collectively, i.e. by all processes.
Parameters
rDirectorydirectory where the multiple files defining the checkpoint are located
Returns
a pointer to the unarchived cardiac problem class

template<class PROBLEM_CLASS >
PROBLEM_CLASS * CardiacSimulationArchiver< PROBLEM_CLASS >::Migrate ( const FileFinder &  rDirectory)
static

Load a simulation, saved by any number of processes, into the correct number of processes for those currently launched.

Note
Must be called collectively, i.e. by all processes.

Uses the DistributedVectorFactory saved in the process 0 archive to work out how many secondary archive files to read, and loads the cells and boundary conditions from these too.

Uses a dumb partition to work out how to distribute the mesh and cells over the processes. If we are loading on the same number of processes as the simulation was saved on, it uses exactly the same distribution as before.

Parameters
rDirectorydirectory where the multiple files defining the checkpoint are located
Returns
a pointer to the migrated cardiac problem class

void CardiacSimulationArchiver< PROBLEM_CLASS >::Save ( PROBLEM_CLASS &  rSimulationToArchive,

static

Archives a simulation in the directory specified.

Note
