System and method for determining a cache optimized ordering of cells in an unstructured graph

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method for determining a cache optimized ordering of cells in an unstructured graph. Cells bounding a region defined along a portion of a stored logically-defined grid are identified and each cell is added into an element of a level set array block in order of traversal through the region along the boundary. The level set array block is reordered for each additional cell in the data object that is contiguous to at least one such cell added previously to the level set array block. Each such additional cell is added into an element of the level set array block. Each cell remaining in the data object independent of any element in the level set array block is iteratively added.
