      UList: Rationalize assignment (shallow-copy vs deep-copy) · ac71f865
      Henry Weller authored
          //- Disallow default shallow-copy assignment
          //
          //  Assignment of UList<T> may need to be either shallow (copy pointer)
          //  or deep (copy elements) depending on context or the particular type
          //  of list derived from UList and it is confusing and prone to error
          //  for the default assignment to be either.  The solution is to
          //  disallow default assignment and provide separate 'shallowCopy' and
          //  'deepCopy' member functions.
          void operator=(const UList<T>&) = delete;
      
          //- Copy the pointer held by the given UList.
          inline void shallowCopy(const UList<T>&);
      
          //- Copy elements of the given UList.
          void deepCopy(const UList<T>&);

      Pstream: optimisation of data exchange · 56668b24
      Henry Weller authored
      Contributed by Mattijs Janssens.
      
      1. Any non-blocking data exchange needs to know in advance the sizes to
         receive so it can size the buffer.  For "halo" exchanges this is not
         a problem since the sizes are known in advance but or all other data
         exchanges these sizes need to be exchanged in advance.
      
         This was previously done by having all processors send the sizes of data to
         send to the master and send it back such that all processors
         - had the same information
         - all could work out who was sending what to where and hence what needed to
           be received.
      
         This is now changed such that we only send the size to the
         destination processor (instead of to all as previously). This means
         that
         - the list of sizes to send is now of size nProcs v.s. nProcs*nProcs before
         - we cut out the route to the master and back by using a native MPI
           call
      
         It causes a small change to the API of exchange and PstreamBuffers -
         they now return the sizes of the local buffers only (a labelList) and
         not the sizes of the buffers on all processors (labelListList)
      
      2. Reversing the order of the way in which the sending is done when
         scattering information from the master processor to the other
         processors. This is done in a tree like fashion. Each processor has a
         set of processors to receive from/ send to. When receiving it will
         first receive from the processors with the least amount of
         sub-processors (i.e. the ones which return first). When sending it
         needs to do the opposite: start sending to the processor with the
         most amount of sub-tree since this is the critical path.
