open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the right subforum, and this is frankly a frivolous question, but I'm curious. Is there a way to view how PARTEL partitions the mesh? Maybe a coloured map, or a set of thicker lines along nodes, or an export to a .slf? I've just always wanted to know what the partitioning looks like in practice, for different scales of partitioning.

It might also be helpful in giving a visual intuition of whether a given number of partitions is excessive. I simply have no frame of reference to know whether the number of cores I specify is so high (using HPC cluster) that it actually slows the simulation down. I'd do more tests with different numbers of cores, but I don't want to waste processor time...

Anyway, if it doesn't exist, it's probably not something that needs to exist! I just thought I'd ask in case it does.

Thanks,
André

Hi
You could open all the XXXGEOyyyyy-zzzzz files in the temporary directory to see the partitionning in Blue Kenue or Paraview...
This is also easy to achieve in python scripts starting from the notebooks example and looping on the same files.
As far as I know there is no automatic already done script to do that.

Hope this helps
