A Generic Grid Interface for Adaptive and Parallel Scientific Computing. Part II: Implementation and Tests in DUNE

Please always quote using this URN: urn:nbn:de:0296-matheon-4176

In a companion paper [Matheon-Preprint 403] we introduced an abstract definition of a parallel and adaptive hierarchical grid for scientific computing. Based on this definition we derive an efficient interface specification as a set of C++ classes. This interface separates the applications from the grid data structures. Thus, user implementations become independent of the underlying grid implementation. Modern C++ template techniques are used to provide an interface implementation without big performance losses. The implementation is realized as part of the software environment DUNE. Numerical tests demonstrate the flexibility and the efficiency of our approach.
