[MOAB-dev] Periodically flushing tags to disk?

[Gerd Heber]

Happy 4th of July everybody!

We are currently running a simulation, which creates new tags at runtime
and only at the end writes the entire MOAB to disk (via DMMoabOutput).
This method is wasteful and dangerous because we might run out of memory
and, in case of premature termination, end up with nothing (on disk).
We were wondering if there was a way to flush tags to disk periodically
and limit our memory footprint? Ideally, this would not require writing
the mesh again. We are also not wedded to the PETSc MOAB interface.
If there is an MOAB-native way, that would be fine as well.

Thanks, G.
