ParaDiGM: Parallel Distributed General Mesh
ParaDiGM (Parallel Distributed General Mesh) is an open-source C library (LGPL) designed to overcome the technological bottlenecks associated with geometric data handling and mesh manipulation in massively parallel numerical simulations.Originally developed as the geometric engine for the CWIPI coupling library (Quémerais et al., 2026), it has evolved into a standalone infrastructure designed to manage distributed meshes at the billion-element scale and beyond.
