Hi, In the past, I did not use ghost cells. Hence, for e.g., on a grid 8x8, I can divide into 8x2 each for 4 processors i.e. divide the y direction because in my computation, usually y no. of cells > x no. of cells. this will minimize the exchange of values.
Now, with ghost cells, it has changed from x,y=1 to 8 to 0 to 9, i.e., the grid is now 10x10 hence to divide to 4 processors, it will not be an integer because 10/4 is not an interger. I'm thinking of using 6x6 grid, and including ghost cells becomes 8x8. Is this the right/best way? Thank you very much and have a nice day! Yours sincerely, Wee-Beng Tay >
