processors command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
processors Px Py Pz :pre
|
|
|
|
Px,Py,Pz = # of processors in each dimension of a 3d grid :ul
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
processors 2 4 4 :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Specify how processors are mapped as a 3d logical grid to the global
|
|
simulation box.
|
|
|
|
When this command has not been specified, LAMMPS will choose Px, Py,
|
|
Pz based on the dimensions of the global simulation box so as to
|
|
minimize the surface/volume ratio of each processor's sub-domain.
|
|
|
|
Since LAMMPS does not load-balance by changing the grid of 3d
|
|
processors on-the-fly, this command should be used to override the
|
|
LAMMPS default if it is known to be sub-optimal for a particular
|
|
problem. For example, a problem where the atom's extent will change
|
|
dramatically over the course of the simulation.
|
|
|
|
The product of Px, Py, Pz must equal P, the total # of processors
|
|
LAMMPS is running on. If multiple partitions are being used then P is
|
|
the number of processors in this partition; see "this
|
|
section"_Section_start.html#2_6 for an explanation of the -partition
|
|
command-line switch.
|
|
|
|
If P is large and prime, a grid such as 1 x P x 1 will be required,
|
|
which may incur extra communication costs.
|
|
|
|
[Restrictions:]
|
|
|
|
This command cannot be used after the simulation box is defined by a
|
|
"read_data"_read_data.html or "create_box"_create_box.html command.
|
|
It can be used before a restart file is read to change the 3d
|
|
processor grid from what is specified in the restart file.
