OilCL:A Communication Library for Oil Reservoir Numerical Simulation Parallel Computing
Yu Xiong · Chinese Journal of Computers · 2000
OilCL is a portable communication library for oil reservoir numerical simulation computing. Although there are many communication libraries, such as MPI, PVM etc., they are not fit for oil reservoir numerical simulation computing since they are general libraries and their interfaces are lower. OilCL provides a convenient and natural interface with oil reservoir numerical simulation computing programmers. It supports dynamic creating and freeing communication context/logic process grid, receipt selectivity based on message source, logic topology as a parameter of collective communication routines, and develop and run modes. These mechanisms facilitate to design programs of oil reservoir numerical simulation computing, to read them more easily, and to make communications safer and more efficient.
