Dear All,

If we want to run a simulation in parallel, we can do so in SU2 using the following :

parallel_computation.py -f file -p np

How about only partitioning a grid file in parallel? Lets say I have a 21M grid and I want to decompose it in 40 parts using 20 processors. Due to the large size of the file if I attempt doing this on a single processor, it would not run due to memory issues. Also, I tried:

mpirun -n 40 SU2_DDC file_name

but it still does the partitioning using 1 processor. (Although it shows 40 processors being used but entire memory is used only for 1 processor)

Is there a way of partitioning grids in parallel using n processors ? This would help in dealing with large grid sizes.

Thanks and regards,
Deepanshu.
