Steve, if I understand correctly, running on one node with 4 MPI tasks is three times faster than running on 10 nodes with 40 (10 ?) tasks. did you try this test on a x86 cluster and with tcp interconnect, and did you get better performance when increasing the number of nodes ? can you try to ru

Hi, I'm afraid I'm pretty new to both OpenFOAM and openMPI so please excuse me if my questions are either stupid or badly framed. I've created a 10 Raspberry pi beowulf cluster for testing out MPI concepts and see how they are harnessed in OpenFOAM. After a helluva lot of hassle, I've got the
