Sequential Filters

Introduction

In many parallelized applications of MaMiCo, not all ranks have access to all cells of the entire MD domain.
For filtering purposes, this can be a serious problem, meaning that it can be better to not have tiny fractions of the domain on each rank applying a filtering algorithm independently, but to rather collect all cell data on a singular rank to then process it in a sequential manner.

Using Sequential Filters

1. Add the sequential="true" attribute to the filter's XML tag.

Note that this feature is only available to filters configured statically, i.e. via XML.

Planned Features

In the future, we plan to make this option avaible to Dynamically Linked Filters as well.
