Modify the divided domain among worker processes

Submitted by Bin Cheng on Mon, 06/05/2017 - 17:25

Hello.

I am trying to simulate granular flow using LIGGGHTS.

In my simulated scenario, almost all particles are concentrated in the lower right corner of the boundary region, so the load would be not balanced if we simply divided the domain equally. Therefore, we need to modify the divided domain according to the distribution of the particles, e.g., allocating more worker processes in the lower right corner.

In other words, if the domain is x=[-10 10], y=[-10 10], the division points should be x=[-10 0 4 6 8 10], y=[-10 0 4 6 8 10], which may be better than the averag division points, x=[-10 -6 -2 2 6 10], y=[-10 -6 -2 2 6 10].

Would you give me some suggestions on how to modify the divided domain?

Best Regards,

Bin

Such a feature is not available in LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC.
