Foil 25 Cartesian Topology in MPI -- MPI_Cart_Create

From Full Matrices - December 4, 1995 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Nancy J. McCracken


MPI_Cart_Create(MPI_COMM_WORLD, ndim=2, dims, [T,T], T, comm2d)
Where dims is a 2-element integer vector giving the number of elements in the 2 dimensions,
[T,T] is a 2-element vector giving True to wrap the topology in both dimensions, T specifies that it's o.k. to reorder the default rank (from MPI_rank) of the processors in order to achieve a good embedding.
This returns a handle to the communicator for the new topology in the variable comm2d.
