Specializations

A specialization is an adaptation of one or more core FleCSI topologies to create an interface that is suitable for developers of a family of domain-specific applications.

For example, in the Poisson tutorial a specialization is provided to define a two-dimensional finite-difference domain interface required by applications with nearest-neighbor ghost dependencies.

Utilities

Several class and function templates are provided to assist in writing specializations. The class template topo::id exists to help prevent mistakes such as using a cell ID as if it were a vertex ID. topo::make_ids is a convenience function template to convert a range of ordinary integers into a range of id objects.
