Preface: Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) – An open-source, parallel finite element framework.
- Free and open source (LGPL license).
- Large user community
- Easy to use and customize
- Takes advantage of high performance computing
Background: ccache is a compiler cache that speeds up recompilation by caching previous compilations and detecting when the same compilation is being done again. ccache can deliver significant speedups when developing MOOSE-based applications, or working on the framework itself.
Multiphysics Object Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) is an open-source framework to facilitate solving complex real-world engineering problems.
Major components of a mesh based numerical solution technique:
1 Read the mesh from file
2 Initialize data structures
3 Construct a discrete representation of the governing equations
Security Focus: In order to use ccache with MOOSE-based applications, it will be necessary to first build libMesh using ccache. Ccache prior to 4.7.4 suffered from a design weakness of inode cache race conditions.
Solution: Upgrade to 4.7.4.
