cell reordering

Cell and face reordering options for cache locality and colouring balance.

default hilbert

Space-filling curve used when sfc is enabled

Options
ValueWhat it doesWhen to use it
hilbert default

Orders each partition's interior cells along a Hilbert curve through their centroids. The curve has no jumps, so cells close in the ordering are close in space.

The default. The ordering is kept only if it reduces the cell-adjacency profile.

morton

Orders each partition's interior cells along a Morton (Z-order) curve, which interleaves the bits of the centroid coordinates. The curve jumps between distant regions.

An alternative to hilbert. It too is kept only if it reduces the cell-adjacency profile.

face sortadvanced
bool·default True

Sort faces within each colour by their lowest cell index
