We could "round robin" the processor assignments if more than one SCALAR variable is attached, but there's no way to get around *some* imbalance other than by handing fewer elements to those processors that also have SCALAR rows. I wouldn't worry about it too much, though - in fact, we could probably assign SCALAR dofs in reverse order (to processor N if there's one of them, N and N-1 if there's two, etc.) and cancel out some of our existing imbalance. Right now lower numbered processors are a little over burdened with dofs on partition boundaries. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Libmesh-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmesh-users
