Detailed Description

A partitioning strategy based on load balancing geometric bounding boxes as cuts of a data set.

This strategy is the traditional strategy used in the vtkRedistributeDataSetFilter which has been refactored into this class. It is based on cuting up the data set into equally balanced (in terms of cell number) bounding boxes that then get distributed to all ranks.

The load balancing attempts to balance the number of cells per target partition approximately. It uses a DIY-based kdtree implementation that balances the cell centers among requested number of partitions. Current implementation only supports power-of-2 target partition. If a non-power of two value is specified for NumberOfPartitions, then the load balancing simply uses the power-of-two greater than the requested value. The bounding boxes for the kdtree leaf nodes are then used to redistribute the data.

Alternatively a collection of bounding boxes may be provided that can be used to distribute the data instead of computing them (see UseExplicitCuts and SetExplicitCuts). When explicit cuts are specified, it is possible use those cuts strictly or to expand boxes on the edge to fit the domain of the input dataset. This can be controlled by ExpandExplicitCutsForInputDomain.
