Context:

  • the whole domain is a cartesian mesh with cartesian patches;
  • the cell edges are parallel to the XYZ axis;
  • the number of ghost layers is greater than or equal to 1;

Goal: to have a RCB initial partitioning (thanks to Zoltan?)
The partitioning is static along the simulation.

The case where the cost per cell is the same for all cells is interesting.
Now, the number of partitions is equal to Ni x Nj x Nk which limits the number of MPI processes and can give partition with a bad aspect ratio.

Thanks to the RCB partitioner we would have the whole domain decomposed into P partitions, whatever P.

Could a code have a default RCB partitioning considering a uniform cost for all cells?
(in this case, the code needn't define a cost per cell)
