Hi Matt,
Checking for (zero? (meep-my-rank)) should work, but you have to put
it in the right place.
I suspect that you based your convert-complex-h5 function on the
convert-h5 in an old version of Meep. If you look at convert-h5 in
the latest version (0.10.1), you'll find that it looks like:
(define (convert-h5 rm? convert-cmd . step-funcs)
(define (convert fname)
(if (zero? (meep-my-rank))
(if (and (zero? (system (string-append convert-cmd " \""
fname "\"")))
rm?)
.....)
where the check of meep-my-rank was inserted in Meep 0.10.1 precisely
to serialize any conversion commands done on the output files.
