The exch2 package is an extension to the original cubed sphere exchanges |
The \texttt{exch2} package extends the original cubed |
| 20 |
to allow more flexible domain decomposition and parallelization. Cube faces |

| 21 |
(subdomains) may be divided into whatever number of tiles that divide evenly |
decomposition and parallelization. Cube faces (also called |
| 22 |
into the grid point dimensions of the subdomain. Furthermore, the individual |
subdomains) may be divided into any number of tiles that divide evenly |
| 23 |
tiles may be run on separate processors in different combinations, |
into the grid point dimensions of the subdomain. Furthermore, the |

|
files are generated by Matlab scripts in |

\file{utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator}; see Section |
| 40 |
|
\ref{sec:topogen} \sectiontitle{Generating Topology Files for exch2} |
| 41 |
|
for details on creating alternate topologies. Pregenerated examples |
| 42 |
|
of these files with alternate topologies are provided under |
| 43 |
|
\file{utils/exch2/code-mods} along with the appropriate \file{SIZE.h} |
| 44 |

\subsection{Invoking exch2} |
| 47 |
|
|
| 48 |
|
To use exch2 with the cubed sphere, the following conditions must be |
| 49 |
|
met: \\ |
| 50 |
|
|
| 51 |
|
$\bullet$ The exch2 package is included when \file{genmake2} is run. |
| 52 |
|
The easiest way to do this is to add the line \code{exch2} to the |
| 53 |
|
\file{profile.conf} file -- see Section |
| 54 |
|
\ref{sect:buildingCode} \sectiontitle{Building the code} for general |
| 55 |
|
details. \\ |
| 56 |
|
|
| 57 |
|
$\bullet$ An example of \file{W2\_EXCH2\_TOPOLOGY.h} and |
| 58 |
|
\file{w2\_e2setup.F} must reside in a directory containing code |
| 59 |
|
linked when \file{genmake2} runs. The safest place to put these |
| 60 |
|
is the directory indicated in the \code{-mods=DIR} command line |
| 61 |
|
modifier (typically \file{../code}), or the build directory. The |
| 62 |
|
default versions of these files reside in \file{pkg/exch2} and are |
| 63 |
|
linked automatically if no other versions exist elsewhere in the |
| 64 |
|
link path, but they should be left untouched to avoid breaking |
| 65 |
|
configurations other than the one you intend to modify.\\ |
| 66 |
|
|
| 67 |
|
$\bullet$ Files containing grid parameters, named |
| 68 |
|
\file{tile00$n$.mitgrid} where $n$=\code{(1:6)} (one per subdomain), |
| 69 |
|
must be in the working directory when the MITgcm executable is run. |
| 70 |
|
These files are provided in the example experiments for cubed sphere |
| 71 |
|
configurations with 32$\times$32 cube sides and are non-trivial to |
| 72 |
|
generate -- please contact MITgcm support if you want to generate |
| 73 |
|
files for other configurations. \\ |
| 74 |
|
|
| 75 |
|
$\bullet$ As always when compiling MITgcm, the file \file{SIZE.h} must |
| 76 |
|
be placed where \file{genmake2} will find it. In particular for |
| 77 |
|
exch2, the domain decomposition specified in \file{SIZE.h} must |
| 78 |
|
correspond with the particular configuration's topology specified in |
| 79 |
|
\file{W2\_EXCH2\_TOPOLOGY.h} and \file{w2\_e2setup.F}. Domain |
| 80 |
|
decomposition issues particular to exch2 are addressed in Section |
| 81 |
|
\ref{sec:topogen} \sectiontitle{Generating Topology Files for exch2} |
| 82 |
|
and \ref{sec:exch2mpi} \sectiontitle{exch2, SIZE.h, and MPI}; a more |
| 83 |
|
general background on the subject relevant to MITgcm is presented in |
| 84 |
|
Section \ref{sect:specifying_a_decomposition} |
| 85 |
|
\sectiontitle{Specifying a decomposition}.\\ |

\subsection{Generating Topology Files for exch2} |
| 102 |
|
\label{sec:topogen} |
| 103 |
|
|
| 104 |
|
Alternate cubed sphere topologies may be created using the Matlab |
| 105 |
|
scripts in \file{utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator}. Running the |
| 106 |
|
m-file |
| 107 |
|
\filelink{driver.m}{utils-exch2-matlab-topology-generator_driver.m} |
| 108 |
|
from the Matlab prompt (there are no parameters to pass) generates |
| 109 |
|
exch2 topology files \file{W2\_EXCH2\_TOPOLOGY.h} and |
| 110 |
|
\file{w2\_e2setup.F} in the working directory and displays a figure of |
| 111 |
|
the topology via Matlab. The other m-files in the directory are |
| 112 |
|
subroutines of \file{driver.m} and should not be run ``bare'' except |
| 113 |
|
for development purposes. \\ |
| 114 |
|
|
| 115 |
|
The parameters that determine the dimensions and topology of the |
| 116 |
|
generated configuration are \code{nr}, \code{nb}, \code{ng}, |
| 117 |
|
\code{tnx} and \code{tny}, and all are assigned early in the script. \\ |
| 118 |
|
|
| 119 |
|
The first three determine the size of the subdomains and |
| 120 |
|
hence the size of the overall domain. Each one determines the number |
| 121 |
|
of grid points, and therefore the resolution, along the subdomain |
| 122 |
|
sides in a ``great circle'' around an axis of the cube. At the time |
| 123 |
|
of this writing MITgcm requires these three parameters to be equal, |
| 124 |
|
but they provide for future releases to accomodate different |
| 125 |
|
resolutions around the axes to allow (for example) greater resolution |
| 126 |
|
around the equator.\\ |
| 127 |
|
|
| 128 |
|
The parameters \code{tnx} and \code{tny} determine the dimensions of |
| 129 |
|
the tiles into which the subdomains are decomposed, and must evenly |
| 130 |
|
divide the integer assigned to \code{nr}, \code{nb} and \code{ng}. |
| 131 |
|
The result is a rectangular tiling of the subdomain. Figure |
| 132 |
|
\ref{fig:24tile} shows one possible topology for a twentyfour-tile |
| 133 |
|
cube, and figure \ref{fig:12tile} shows one for twelve tiles. \\ |

Tiles can be selected from the topology to be omitted from being |

allocated memory and processors. This tuning is useful in ocean |
| 176 |
|
modeling for omitting tiles that fall entirely on land. The tiles |
| 177 |
|
omitted are specified in the file |

\subsection{exch2, SIZE.h, and multiprocessing} |
| 185 |
|
\label{sec:exch2mpi} |
| 186 |
|
|
| 187 |
|
Once the topology configuration files are created, the Fortran |
| 188 |
|
\code{PARAMETER}s in \file{SIZE.h} must be configured to match. |
| 189 |
|
Section \ref{sect:specifying_a_decomposition} \sectiontitle{Specifying |
| 190 |
|
a decomposition} provides a general description of domain |
| 191 |
|
decomposition within MITgcm and its relation to \file{SIZE.h}. The |
| 192 |
|
current section specifies certain constraints the exch2 package |
| 193 |
|
imposes as well as describes how to enable parallel execution with |
| 194 |
|
MPI. \\ |
| 195 |
|
|
| 196 |
|
As in the general case, the parameters \varlink{sNx}{sNx} and |
| 197 |
|
\varlink{sNy}{sNy} define the size of the individual tiles, and so |
| 198 |
|
must be assigned the same respective values as \code{tnx} and |
| 199 |
|
\code{tny} in \file{driver.m}.\\ |
| 200 |
|
|
| 201 |
|
The halo width parameters \varlink{OLx}{OLx} and \varlink{OLy}{OLy} |
| 202 |
|
have no special bearing on exch2 and may be assigned as in the general |
| 203 |
|
case. The same holds for \varlink{Nr}{Nr}, the number of vertical |
| 204 |
|
levels in the model.\\ |
| 205 |
|
|
| 206 |
|
The parameters \varlink{nSx}{nSx}, \varlink{nSy}{nSy}, |
| 207 |
|
\varlink{nPx}{nPx}, and \varlink{nPy}{nPy} relate to the number of |
| 208 |
|
tiles and how they are distributed on processors. When using exch2, |
| 209 |
|
the tiles are stored in single dimension, and so |
| 210 |
|
\code{\varlink{nSy}{nSy}=1} in all cases. Since the tiles as |
| 211 |
|
configured by exch2 cannot be split up accross processors without |
| 212 |
|
regenerating the topology, \code{\varlink{nPy}{nPy}=1} as well. \\ |
| 213 |
|
|
| 214 |
|
The number of tiles MITgcm allocates and how they are distributed |
| 215 |
|
between processors depends on \varlink{nPx}{nPx} and |
| 216 |
|
\varlink{nSx}{nSx}. \varlink{nSx}{nSx} is the number of tiles per |
| 217 |
|
processor and \varlink{nPx}{nPx} the number of processors. The total |
| 218 |
|
number of tiles in the topology minus those listed in |
| 219 |
|
\file{blanklist.txt} must equal \code{nSx*nPx}. \\ |
| 220 |
|
|
| 221 |
|
The following is an example of \file{SIZE.h} for the twelve-tile |
| 222 |
|
configuration illustrated in figure \ref{fig:12tile} running on |

one processor: \\ |

The arrays \varlink{exch2\_tnx}{exch2_tnx} and |

|
an example, in the default six-tile topology (Fig. \ref{fig:6tile}) |

have values of \code{0} or \code{16}, depending on the quadrant the |
| 317 |
|
tile falls within the subdomain. The elements of the arrays |
| 318 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_txglobalo}{exch2_txglobalo} and |
| 319 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_txglobalo}{exch2_txglobalo} are similar to |
| 320 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_tbasex}{exch2_tbasex} and |
| 321 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_tbasey}{exch2_tbasey}, but locate the tiles within the |
| 322 |
|
global address space, similar to that used by global files. \\ |
| 323 |
|
|
| 324 |
|
The array \varlink{exch2\_myFace}{exch2_myFace} contains the number of |
| 325 |
|
the subdomain of each tile, in a range \code{(1:6)} in the case of the |
| 326 |
|
standard cube topology and indicated by \textbf{\textsf{f}}$n$ in |
| 327 |
|
figures \ref{fig:12tile} and |
| 328 |
|
\ref{fig:24tile}. \varlink{exch2\_nNeighbours}{exch2_nNeighbours} |
| 329 |
|
contains a count the neighboring tiles each tile has, and is |
| 330 |
|
used for setting bounds for looping over neighboring tiles. |
| 331 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_tProc}{exch2_tProc} holds the process rank of each |
| 332 |
|
tile, and is used in interprocess communication. \\ |
| 333 |
|
|
| 334 |
|
|
| 335 |
|
The arrays \varlink{exch2\_isWedge}{exch2_isWedge}, |
| 336 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_isEedge}{exch2_isEedge}, |
| 337 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_isSedge}{exch2_isSedge}, and |
| 338 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_isNedge}{exch2_isNedge} are set to \code{1} if the |
| 339 |
|
indexed tile lies on the respective edge of a subdomain, \code{0} if |
| 340 |
|
not. The values are used within the topology generator to determine |
| 341 |
|
the orientation of neighboring tiles, and to indicate whether a tile |
| 342 |
|
lies on the corner of a subdomain. The latter case requires special |
| 343 |
|
exchange and numerical handling for the singularities at the eight |
| 344 |
|
corners of the cube. \\ |
| 345 |
|
|
|
The arrays {\em exch2\_tnx} and {\em exch2\_tny} |
|
|
express the x and y dimensions of each tile. At present for each tile |
|
|
{\em exch2\_tnx = sNx} |
|
|
and {\em exch2\_tny = sNy}, as assigned in {\em SIZE.h}. Future releases of |
|
|
MITgcm are to allow varying tile sizes. |
|
|
|
|
|
The location of the tiles' Cartesian origin within a subdomain are determined |
|
|
by the arrays {\em exch2\_tbasex} and {\em exch2\_tbasey}. These variables |
|
|
are used to relate the location of the edges of the tiles to each other. As |
|
|
an example, in the default six-tile topology (the degenerate case) |
|
|
each index in these arrays are |
|
|
set to 0. The twenty-four, 32x32 cube face case discussed above will have |
|
|
values of 0 or 16, depending on the quadrant the tile falls within the |
|
|
subdomain. {\em exch2\_myFace} contains the number of the |
|
|
cubeface/subdomain of each tile, numbered 1-6 in the case of the standard |
|
|
cube topology. |
|
|
|
|
|
The arrays {\em exch2\_txglobalo} and {\em exch2\_txglobalo} are similar to |
|
|
{\em exch2\_tbasex} and {\em exch2\_tbasey}, but locate the tiles within |
|
|
the global address space, similar to that used by global files. |
|
|
|
|
|
The arrays {\em exch2\_isWedge}, {\em exch2\_isEedge}, {\em exch2\_isSedge}, |
|
|
and {\em exch2\_isNedge} are set to 1 if the indexed tile lies on the edge |
|
|
of a subdomain, 0 if not. The values are used within the topology generator |
|
|
to determine the orientation of neighboring tiles and to indicate whether |
|
|
a tile lies on the corner of a subdomain. The latter case indicates |
|
|
special exchange and numerical handling for the singularities at the eight |
|
|
corners of the cube. {\em exch2\_isNedge} contains a count of how many |
|
|
neighboring tiles each tile has, and is used for setting bounds for looping |
|
|
over neighboring tiles. {\em exch2\_tProc} holds the process rank of each tile, |
|
|
and is used in interprocess communication. |

|
orientations between the the tiles. \\ |
| 352 |
|
|
| 353 |
|
The array \code{exch2\_neighbourId(a,T)} holds the tile number |
| 354 |
|
\code{Tn} for each of the tile number \code{T}'s neighboring tiles |
| 355 |
|
\code{a}. The neighbor tiles are indexed |
| 356 |
|
\code{(1:exch2\_NNeighbours(T))} in the order right to left on the |
| 357 |
|
north then south edges, and then top to bottom on the east and west |
| 358 |
|
edges. Maybe throw in a fig here, eh? \\ |
| 359 |
|
|
| 360 |
|
\sloppy The \code{exch2\_opposingSend\_record(a,T)} array holds the |
| 361 |
|
index \code{b} of the element in \texttt{exch2\_neighbourId(b,Tn)} |
| 362 |
|
that holds the tile number \code{T}, given |
| 363 |
|
\code{Tn=exch2\_neighborId(a,T)}. In other words, |
| 364 |
|
\begin{verbatim} |
| 365 |
|
exch2_neighbourId( exch2_opposingSend_record(a,T), |
| 366 |
|
exch2_neighbourId(a,T) ) = T |
| 367 |
|
\end{verbatim} |
| 368 |
|
This provides a back-reference from the neighbor tiles. \\ |
| 369 |
|
|
| 370 |
The array {\em exch2\_neighbourId(a,T)} holds the tile number $T_{n}$ for each tile |
The arrays \varlink{exch2\_pi}{exch2_pi} and |

| 372 |
the index c in {\em exch2\_neighbourId(b,$T_{n}$)} that holds the tile number T. |
in exchanges between the neighboring tiles. These transformations are |
| 373 |
In other words, |
necessary in exchanges between subdomains because the array index in |
| 374 |
|
one dimension may map to the other index in an adjacent subdomain, and |
| 375 |
|
may be have its indexing reversed. This swapping arises from the |
| 376 |
|
``folding'' of two-dimensional arrays into a three-dimensional cube. |
| 377 |
|
|
| 378 |
|
The dimensions of \code{exch2\_pi(t,N,T)} and \code{exch2\_pj(t,N,T)} |
| 379 |
|
are the neighbor ID \code{N} and the tile number \code{T} as explained |
| 380 |
|
above, plus a vector of length \code{2} containing transformation |
| 381 |
|
factors \code{t}. The first element of the transformation vector |
| 382 |
|
holds the factor to multiply the index in the same axis, and the |
| 383 |
|
second element holds the the same for the orthogonal index. To |
| 384 |
|
clarify, \code{exch2\_pi(1,N,T)} holds the mapping of the $x$ axis |
| 385 |
|
index of tile \code{T} to the $x$ axis of tile \code{T}'s neighbor |
| 386 |
|
\code{N}, and \code{exch2\_pi(2,N,T)} holds the mapping of \code{T}'s |
| 387 |
|
$x$ index to the neighbor \code{N}'s $y$ index. \\ |
| 388 |
|
|
| 389 |
|
One of the two elements of \code{exch2\_pi} or \code{exch2\_pj} for a |
| 390 |
|
given tile \code{T} and neighbor \code{N} will be \code{0}, reflecting |
| 391 |
|
the fact that the two axes are orthogonal. The other element will be |
| 392 |
|
\code{1} or \code{-1}, depending on whether the axes are indexed in |
| 393 |
|
the same or opposite directions. For example, the transform vector of |
| 394 |
|
the arrays for all tile neighbors on the same subdomain will be |
| 395 |
|
\code{(1,0)}, since all tiles on the same subdomain are oriented |
| 396 |
|
identically. An axis that corresponds to the orthogonal dimension |
| 397 |
|
with the same index direction in a particular tile-neighbor |
| 398 |
|
orientation will have \code{(0,1)}. Those in the opposite index |
| 399 |
|
direction will have \code{(0,-1)} in order to reverse the ordering. \\ |

|

|
The arrays \varlink{exch2\_oi}{exch2_oi}, |
| 402 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_oj}{exch2_oj}, \varlink{exch2\_oi\_f}{exch2_oi_f}, and |
| 403 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_oj\_f}{exch2_oj_f} are indexed to tile number and |
| 404 |
|
neighbor and specify the relative offset within the subdomain of the |
| 405 |
|
array index of a variable going from a neighboring tile $N$ to a local |
| 406 |
|
tile $T$. Consider \code{T=1} in the six-tile topology |
| 407 |
|
(Fig. \ref{fig:6tile}), where |
| 408 |
|
|
| 409 |
\begin{verbatim} |
\begin{verbatim} |
| 410 |
exch2_neighbourId( exch2_opposingSend_record(a,T), exch2_neighbourId(a,T) ) = T |
exch2_oi(1,1)=33 |
| 411 |
|
exch2_oi(2,1)=0 |
| 412 |
|
exch2_oi(3,1)=32 |
| 413 |

exch2_oi(4,1)=-32 |

\end{verbatim} |
\end{verbatim} |
| 415 |
|
|
| 416 |
% {\em exch2\_neighbourId(exch2\_opposingSend\_record(a,T),exch2\_neighbourId(a,T))=T}. |
The simplest case is \code{exch2\_oi(2,1)}, the southern neighbor, |
| 417 |
% alternate version |
which is \code{Tn=6}. The axes of \code{T} and \code{Tn} have the |
| 418 |
|
same orientation and their $x$ axes have the same origin, and so an |
| 419 |
|
exchange between the two requires no changes to the $x$ index. For |
| 420 |
|
the western neighbor (\code{Tn=5}), \code{code\_oi(3,1)=32} since the |
| 421 |
|
\code{x=0} vector on \code{T} corresponds to the \code{y=32} vector on |
| 422 |
|
\code{Tn}. The eastern edge of \code{T} shows the reverse case |
| 423 |
|
(\code{exch2\_oi(4,1)=-32)}, where \code{x=32} on \code{T} exchanges |
| 424 |
|
with \code{x=0} on \code{Tn=2}. The most interesting case, where |
| 425 |
|
\code{exch2\_oi(1,1)=33} and \code{Tn=3}, involves a reversal of |
| 426 |
|
indices. As in every case, the offset \code{exch2\_oi} is added to |
| 427 |
|
the original $x$ index of \code{T} multiplied by the transformation |
| 428 |
|
factor \code{exch2\_pi(t,N,T)}. Here \code{exch2\_pi(1,1,1)=0} since |
| 429 |
|
the $x$ axis of \code{T} is orthogonal to the $x$ axis of \code{Tn}. |
| 430 |
|
\code{exch2\_pi(2,1,1)=-1} since the $x$ axis of \code{T} corresponds |
| 431 |
|
to the $y$ axis of \code{Tn}, but the axes are reversed. The result |
| 432 |
|
is that the index of the northern edge of \code{T}, which runs |
| 433 |
|
\code{(1:32)}, is transformed to |
| 434 |
|
\code{(-1:-32)}. \code{exch2\_oi(1,1)} is then added to this range to |
| 435 |
|
get back \code{(1:32)} -- the index of the $y$ axis of \code{Tn}. |
| 436 |
|
This transformation may seem overly convoluted for the six-tile case, |
| 437 |
|
but it is necessary to provide a general solution for various |
| 438 |
|
topologies. \\ |
| 439 |
|
|
|
This is to provide a backreference from the neighbor tiles. |

Finally, \varlink{exch2\_itlo\_c}{exch2_itlo_c}, |

\varlink{exch2\_ithi\_c}{exch2_ithi_c}, |
| 444 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_jtlo\_c}{exch2_jtlo_c} and |
| 445 |
|
\varlink{exch2\_jthi\_c}{exch2_jthi_c} hold the location and index |
| 446 |
|
bounds of the edge segment of the neighbor tile \code{N}'s subdomain |
| 447 |
|
that gets exchanged with the local tile \code{T}. To take the example |
| 448 |
|
of tile \code{T=2} in the twelve-tile topology |
| 449 |
|
(Fig. \ref{fig:12tile}): \\ |
| 450 |

\begin{verbatim} |
\begin{verbatim} |

| 454 |
|
exch2_jtlo_c(4,2)=0 |
| 455 |
|
exch2_jthi_c(4,2)=33 |

\end{verbatim} |
| 457 |
|
|
| 458 |
|
Here \code{N=4}, indicating the western neighbor, which is \code{Tn=1}. |
| 459 |
|
\code{Tn=1} resides on the same subdomain as \code{T=2}, so the tiles |
| 460 |
|
have the same orientation and the same $x$ and $y$ axes. The $i$ |
| 461 |
|
component is orthogonal to the western edge and the tile is 16 points |
| 462 |
|
wide, so \code{exch2\_itlo\_c} and \code{exch2\_ithi\_c} indicate the |
| 463 |
|
column beyond \code{Tn=1}'s eastern edge, in that tile's halo |
| 464 |
|
region. Since the border of the tiles extends through the entire |
| 465 |
|
height of the subdomain, the $y$ axis bounds \code{exch2\_jtlo\_c} to |
| 466 |
|
\code{exch2\_jthi\_c} cover the height, plus 1 in either direction to |
| 467 |
|
cover part of the halo. \\ |

For the north edge of the same tile \code{T=2} where \code{N=1} and |

\code{T}'s northern edge is parallel to the $x$ axis, but since |
| 480 |
|
\code{Tn}'s $y$ axis corresponds to \code{T}'s $x$ axis, |
| 481 |
|
\code{T}'s northern edge exchanges with \code{Tn}'s western edge. |
| 482 |
|
The western edge of the tiles corresponds to the lower bound of the |

$x$ axis, so \code{exch2\_itlo\_c} \code{exch2\_ithi\_c} are \code{0}. The |

\subsection{Key Routines} |
| 502 |
|
|
| 503 |
|
Most of the subroutines particular to exch2 handle the exchanges |
| 504 |
|
themselves and are of the same format as those described in |
| 505 |
|
\ref{sect:cube_sphere_communication} \sectiontitle{Cube sphere |
| 506 |
|
communication}. Like the original routines, they are written as |
| 507 |
|
templates which the local Makefile converts from RX into RL and RS |
| 508 |
|
forms. \\ |
| 509 |
|
|
| 510 |
|
The interfaces with the core model subroutines are |
| 511 |
|
\code{EXCH\_UV\_XY\_RX}, \code{EXCH\_UV\_XYZ\_RX} and \code{EXCH\_XY\_RX}. |
| 512 |
|
They override the standard exchange routines when \code{genmake2} is |
| 513 |
|
run with \code{exch2} option. They in turn call the local exch2 |
| 514 |
|
subroutines \code{EXCH2\_UV\_XY\_RX} and \code{EXCH2\_UV\_XYZ\_RX} for two |
| 515 |
|
and three dimensional vector quantities, and \code{EXCH2\_XY\_RX} and |
| 516 |
|
\code{EXCH2\_XYZ\_RX} for two and three dimensional scalar quantities. |
| 517 |
|
These subroutines set the dimensions of the area to be exchanged, call |
| 518 |
|
\code{EXCH2\_RX1\_CUBE} for scalars and \code{EXCH2\_RX2\_CUBE} for |
| 519 |
|
vectors, and then handle the singularities at the cube corners. \\ |
| 520 |
|
|
| 521 |
|
The separate scalar and vector forms of \code{EXCH2\_RX1\_CUBE} and |
| 522 |
|
\code{EXCH2\_RX2\_CUBE} reflect that the vector-handling subrouine needs |
| 523 |
|
to pass both the $x$ and $y$ components of the vectors. This arises |
| 524 |
|
from the topological folding discussed above, where the $x$ and $y$ |
| 525 |
|
axes get swapped in some cases. This swapping is not an issue with |
| 526 |
|
the scalar version. These subroutines call \code{EXCH2\_SEND\_RX1} and |
| 527 |
|
\code{EXCH2\_SEND\_RX2}, which do most of the work using the variables |
| 528 |
|
discussed above. \\ |
