pCAMAL: An embarrassingly parallel hexahedral mesh generator

Pébay, Philippe P.; Stephenson, Michael B.; Fortier, Leslie A.; Owen, Steven J.; Melander, Darryl J.

This paper describes a distributed-memory, embarrassingly parallel hexahedral mesh generator, pCAMAL (parallel CUBIT Adaptive Mesh Algorithm Library). pCAMAL utilizes the sweeping method following a serial step of geometry decomposition conducted in the CUBIT geometry preparation and mesh generation tool. The utility of pCAMAL in generating large meshes is illustrated, and linear speed-up under load-balanced conditions is demonstrated.
