Hello
I am planning to conduct parallel simulations with SU2. As explained in SU2 website, I downloaded the Microsoft MPI and used the command "mpiexec -n NP SU2_CFD name.cfg" for parallel computation. It used the "parMETIS" substructure in order to divide domain into groups for parallel computations. Then it worked well and conducted a simulation faster than sequential one. However, there is another python code in SU2 called "parallel_computation.py". What is this code for? If we have ability of Microsoft MPI, then, is this python code is necessary/unnecessary for parallel computations? Is it valid for earlier versions of SU2 only? I am a bit confused about that issue . Kindly regards |

That script was for convenience in the days when you needed to run SU2_SOL after SU2_CFD to get post processing files, and it also tries to automate the task of determining which mpi launcher (mpirun mpiexec) should be used.
In summary, you don't need it. |
