SDFtool

SDFtool is a Fortran program which runs in parallel using MPI and which processes data produced by distributed adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) programs in SDF format (such as had). Such programs can generate enormous datasets that may not be feasible to post-process on a single processor either because of memory requirements or speed issues. Also, many parallel computations are preformed on large clusters centralized at the nation's supercomputing sites, and therefore it is often most convenient to be able to process large data sets remotely.

The idea is to have a robust framework upon which someone can easily implement some new function within sdftool.

SDFtool is available from our CVS server: cvs checkout sdftool
