Popis: We present the parallel implementation of a non-iterative mesh generation algorithm, named conforming to interface structured adaptive mesh refinement (CISAMR). The partitioning phase is tightly integrated with a microstructure reconstruction algorithm to determine the optimized arrangement of partitions based on shapes/sizes of particles. Each processor then creates a structured sub-mesh with one layer of ghost elements for its designated partition. h-adaptivity and r-adaptivity phases of the CISAMR algorithm are also carried out independently in each sub-mesh. Processors then communicate to merge mesh/hanging nodes along faces shared between neighboring partitions. The final mesh is constructed by performing face-swapping and element subdivision phases, after which a minimal communication phase is required in 3D CISAMR to merge new nodes created on partition boundaries. Several example problems, together with scalability tests demonstrating a super-linear speedup, are provided to show the application of parallel CISAMR for generating massive conforming meshes.
