Dear Jeff, thanks for the information. >Open MPI currently has very limited cartesian support -- it actually doesn't remap anything. I see, OpenMPI doesn't remap anything; this explains probably why my runtime of my simulation varies sometimes between 30% for the same setup. >Would you have any

Open MPI currently has very limited cartesian support -- it actually doesn't remap anything. That being said, it is *very* easy to extend Open MPI's algorithms for cartesian partitioning. As you probably already know, Open MPI is all about its plugins -- finding and selecting a good set of plu

Dear OpenMPI list, I am using a MPI-parallelized simulation program, with a domain-decomposition in 6-Dimensions. In order to improve the scalability of my program I would like to know according to what preferences is MPI distributing the ranks when using MPI_Cart_create( reorder allowed). To e
