[Libmesh-users] element iterators algorithm

[Wen J. <jia...@gm...>]

Hi,

As far as I understand, libmesh assembles the global stiffness matrix in
parallel due to the fact that each local performs the assembly only on its
own elements. And also in PETSc, the matrix assembly procedure will be
efficient only when the entries are generated on the 'right' process. Thus I
am just wondering the algorithm how libmesh distributes the global elements
to each local processor such that most entries in global stiffness matrix
are generated locally.

Thanks,
Wen
