Hi everybody

I made a udf to calculate on a specific face the average value of scalar quantity, and it runs fine in serial mode. I tried to use it in parallel mode in a dual core machine but I failed. I used some complier's directives in order to overcome it but I didn't manage it. The serial listing is attached.

/************************************************** **********************/

DEFINE_EXECUTE_AT_END(Scalar_average)

{

int curr_ts = N_TIME;

real tfa = 0.0;

real tfi = 0.0;

real mfi = 0.0;

real time = CURRENT_TIME;

int id = 10;

real A[ND_ND];

FILE *fp = fopen("usds_story.txt","a+");

face_t f;

Domain *d = Get_Domain(1);

Thread *t=Lookup_Thread(d,id);

{

begin_f_loop(f, t)

{

F_AREA(A,f,t);

tfa += NV_MAG(A);

tfi += F_UDSI(f,t,0)*NV_MAG(A);

}

end_f_loop(f, t)

}

mfi = tfi / tfa;

Message ("Time Step:%5d Time:%7.4e Average Value:%12.4e\n", curr_ts, time, mfi);

fprintf(fp,"%5d %7.4e %12.4e\n", curr_ts, time, mfi);

fclose(fp);

}

Thanks in advance

To write files in parallel is not as easy as in serial. in parallel only host can write to file, so you need to send the values from nodes to node 0, and node 0 send the values to host. you need to use the macros PRF_CSEND_REAL, PRF_CRECV_REAL, etc. It's an example in the UDF manual, have a look.

try like this:

#include "udf.h"

DEFINE_EXECUTE_AT_END(Scalar_average)

{

#if !RP_HOST

int curr_ts = N_TIME;

real tfa = 0.0;

real tfi = 0.0;

real time = CURRENT_TIME;

int id = 10;

real A[ND_ND];

face_t f;

Domain *d = Get_Domain(1);

Thread *t=Lookup_Thread(d,id);

#endif

real mfi = 0.0;

#if !RP_NODE

FILE *fp = fopen("usds_story.txt","a+");

#endif

#if RP_HOST

int curr_ts,time;

#endif

#if !RP_HOST

begin_f_loop(f, t)

{

F_AREA(A,f,t);

tfa += NV_MAG(A);

tfi += F_UDSI(f,t,0)*NV_MAG(A);

}

end_f_loop(f, t)

tfi=PRF_GRSUM1(tfi);

tfa=PRF_GRSUM1(tfa);

mfi = tfi / tfa;

#endif

node_to_host_real_1(mfi);

node_to_host_int_2(curr_ts,time);

#if !RP_HOST

Message0("Time Step:%5d Time:%7.4e Average Value:%12.4e\n", curr_ts, time, mfi);

#endif

#if !RP_NODE

fprintf(fp,"%5d %7.4e %12.4e\n", curr_ts, time, mfi);

fclose(fp);

#endif

}

Thank you Bogdan

Your solution works perfectly

I'm glad, but just I found a small error, time is not an int but a real, so modify as follows:

instead of

#if RP_HOST

int curr_ts,time;

#endif

modify

#if RP_HOST

int curr_ts;

real time;

#endif

and instead of

node_to_host_real_1(mfi);

node_to_host_int_2(curr_ts,time);

modify

node_to_host_real_2(mfi,time);

node_to_host_int_1(curr_ts);

regards

I have already done all these. It was obvious to be corrected all these points. But the general concept was absolutely right.

Thanks once more

Hi guys,

Can someone help me to modify my UDF below to parallel UDF. I am simulating oscillating cylinder and need to compile my UDF in Linux parallel.

#include "udf.h"

#define AA 0.03
#define TT 4.1667
#define OM (2.0*M_PI/TT)

DEFINE_CG_MOTION(updown,dt,vel,omega,time,dtime)
{
vel[1] = AA*OM*cos(OM*time);
}


thanks.
