Foil 58 Cartesian Topologies

From MPI Message Passing Interface Computational Science for Simulations -- Fall Semester 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Nancy McCracken


MPI provides routines to provide structure to collections of processes. Although it also has graph topologies, here we concentrate on cartesian.
A Cartesian topology is a mesh
Example of a 3 x 4 mesh with arrows pointing at the right neighbors:
(0,0)
(0,1)
(0,2)
(0,3)
(1,0)
(1,1)
(1,2)
(1,3)
(2,0)
(2,1)
(2,2)
(2,3)
