By default, your vtkXMLPRectilinearGridWriter sets the EndPiece to 0
(because it does not know any better on initialization). Here is what
you need to do to achieve fully distributed writing.
int N = 5;
vtkXMLPRectilinearGridWriter piw = vtkXMLPRectilinearGridWriter::New();
piw->SetInput(grid);
piw->SetFileName("/pathtofilename/file.pvti");
piw->SetNumberOfPieces(N);
piw->SetStartPiece(0);
piw->SetEndPiece(N-1);
piw->WriteSummaryFileOn();
piw->Write()
