<div style="line-break:after-white-space">Thank you Matt, it works!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The implementation is straightforward:</div>
<div>- 1º Define the paddle regions using <span style="font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New",monospace;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(99,99,36)">DMGetLocalBoundingBox</span> with the background DMDA mesh as
an auxiliary mesh for the domain-partitioning. </div>
<div>
<div>- 2º Create an integer to count the local number of particles to be used as ghost particle for other processors (<span>N_ghost</span>). One particle can be counted more than one time. At the same time, fill two arrays:</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>- one with the index of the "main particle” (local particle),</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>- and the other with the target rank of the<span> </span><span>"main particle”</span>.<br>
<div>- 3º Create the new particles using <span style="font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New",monospace;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(99,99,36)">DMSwarmAddNPoints</span></div>
<div>- 4º <font>Fill the new particles with the information of the “main particle” but set the internal variable </font><span style="font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New",monospace;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(69,69,69)">DMSwarmField_rank</span><span> with
the target rank.</span></div>
<div><span>- 5º Call </span><span style="font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New",monospace;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(99,99,36)">DMSwarmMigrate</span><span style="font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New",monospace;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(94,94,94)">(</span><span style="font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New",monospace;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font style="font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New",monospace;color:rgb(126,126,126)">*</font></span><span style="font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New",monospace;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(94,94,94)">,</span><span style="font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New",monospace;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(73,104,57)">PETSC_TRUE</span><span style="font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New",monospace;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(94,94,94)">)</span>.
Therefore, we send the ghost particles to the corresponding processors and we delete them from the original processor. </div>
<div>- 6º Do stuff… </div>
<div>- 7º Delete ghost particles. This is very easy, we just have to call <span style="font-family:Menlo,Monaco,"Courier New",monospace;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(99,99,36)">DMSwarmRemovePoint</span> N_ghost
times.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think this can be easily implemented as closed routine for the DMSwarm class.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The remaining question is: how to do the communication between the “original" particle and the ghost particles? For instance, if we update some particle variable (locally) inside of a SNES context, this same variable should be updated in the ghost particles
at the other processors. </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I think what you are asking about is an operation similar to VecGhostUpdate{Begin,End}(). In the case of a DMSwarm I’m not sure how to define the InsertMode = ADD_VALUES? Some swarm fields do not make sense to be added. INSERT_VALUES is fine.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">One solution might be to have something like this</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">DMSwarmCollectViewUpdateGhostOwners(DM dm, InsertMode mode, PetscInt nfields, const char *fieldNames[]);</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">where one can specify the insert mode and the fields on which the insert mode will apply.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>

<div dir="auto">Would something like that work?</div>

<pre style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:12px;white-space:pre-wrap">Dear all,
I am implementing a Molecular Dynamics (MD) code using the DMSWARM interface. In the MD simulations we evaluate on each particle (atoms) some kind of scalar functional using data from the neighbouring atoms. My problem lies in the parallel implementation of the model, because sometimes, some of these neighbours lie on a different processor.
This is usually solved by using ghost particles. A similar approach (with nodes instead) is already implemented for other PETSc mesh structures like DMPlexConstructGhostCells. Unfortunately, I don't see this kind of constructs for DMSWARM. Am I missing something?
I this could be done by applying a buffer region by exploiting the background DMDA mesh that I already use to do domain decomposition. Then using the buffer region of each cell to locate the ghost particles and finally using VecCreateGhost. Is this feasible? Or is there an easier approach using other PETSc functions.</pre>
</div>

</blockquote>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica">This is feasible, but it would be good to develop a set of best practices, since we have been mainly focused on the case of non-redundant particles. Here is how I think I would do what you want.</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica">1) Add a particle field 'ghost' that identifies ghost vs owned particles. I think it needs options OWNED, OVERLAP, and GHOST</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica">2) At some interval identify particles that should be sent to other processes as ghosts. I would call these "overlap particles". The determination</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica"> seems application specific, so I would leave this determination to the user right now. We do two things to these particles</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica"> a) Mark chosen particles as OVERLAP</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica"> b) Change rank to process we are sending to</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica">3) Call DMSwarmMigrate with PETSC_FALSE for the particle deletion flag</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica">4) Mark OVERLAP particles as GHOST when they arrive</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica">There is one problem in the above algorithm. It does not allow sending particles to multiple ranks. We would have to do this</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica">in phases right now, or make a small adjustment to the interface allowing replication of particles when a set of ranks is specified.</div>
