摘要：

This paper presents an algorithm for highly-parallel loading and processing of unstructured mesh databases in a distributed memory environment of large HPC clusters without collecting data into a single process. The algo-rithm is proved effective, having linear speedup in the large dataset limit. Demonstrated on Ansys CDB, EnSight, VTK Legacy, and XDMF databases, we show that it is possible to efficiently reconstruct meshes with 800 million nodes and 500 million elements in several seconds on thousands of processors, even from databases that were not designed to be read in parallel. The algorithm is implemented in our MESIO library that can be used as (i) an efficient parallel loader (e.g. for numerical physical solvers) or as (ii) a high performing parallel converter be-tween mesh databases.
