How to efficiently structure simulation data in memory for cells with varying degrees of freedom?

For a discontinuous Galerkin-based simulation I need to store cell-based simulation data in memory. Since the order of the polynomial approximation $N_p$ may vary between cells, I wonder what the most ...

Visualizing discontinuous Galerkin/finite element data

I would like to visualize simulation results, obtained using the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approach, within ParaView. Similarly to finite volume methods, the problem domain is divided into ...
