#666: have CarpetIOScalar output grid scalar directly rather than applying reductions to them --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: review Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
This implementation of the "origin" reduction doesn't pick the value at the origin; rather, it picks a random value, depending on the order of the reduction. It also doesn't save on any MPI communication. This implementation makes only sense if all values are the same (which they are for grid scalars), and in this case, it returns the same as the "average" reduction... Do you really want to add a new, fake reduction?
I'll look into modifying the standard ASCII output format.
