BIDM.Asset.Abstract Multiblock PARTI is a runtime library for parallelizing multiple structured grid (e.g., multiblock and multigrid) applications written in Fortran and C. The Multiblock Parti is used to produce an SPMD parallel program, and provides routines that allow an application programmer or a compiler to Lay out distributed data in a flexible way, to enable good load balancing and minimize interprocessor communication, Give high level specifications for performing data movement, and Distribute the computation across the processors. Two types of communication are required in multiple structured grid applications -- inter-block communication and intra-block communication. In the runtime system, communication is performed in two phases. META
