Here's an updated list of use cases; I've added details for use cases 4 (parallel repartitioning) and 5 (parallel mesh generation using serial meshing library). I've included a heading for #6 (multiple Parts per Process), but didn't fill anything in for that one. Please let me know if these are under- or over-specified. - tim -- ================================================================ "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you."
