<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>Catalyst by default uses MPI_COMM_WORLD of the existing MPI library that the simulation code is linked with. You can use another MPI communicator as well. An example of that is in the Examples/Catalyst/MPISubCommunicatorExample source directory.<br><br></div>Best,<br></div>Andy<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Oct 28, 2017 at 7:50 AM, Kolja Petersen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:petersenkolja@gmail.com" target="_blank">petersenkolja@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello,<br>I am trying to understand a Catalyst implementation detail.<br><br>Because parallel Catalyst may transfer huge data to a parallel pvserver, I thought the Catalyst processes would have themselves added to the pvserver's MPI communicator.
