This repository contains

serial-meshes branch of DOLFIN

It enables DOLFIN to

• build serial objects (Mesh, Function, etc.) while actually running in parallel (using MPI),

• perform projections on non-matching meshes in parallel; This is done building serial objects, doing serial projections (by one process), and reconstructing parallel objects.

Go ahead and try serial-meshes demo. Usage of these features is documented there.

Whole implementation is a major hack but it is useful and will be until a cleaner way is introduced in main development branch of DOLFIN.

Note. This functionality is deprecated and not maintained in favour of

• native custom MPI communicators support
• support for interpolation on non-matching meshes

implemented in upstream DOLFIN.

master branch from official DOLFIN repository is from time to time (say 1 month) merged in so you don't miss newest features of DOLFIN even with serial-meshes branch.
