Right now some sizes need to be configured manually: recvTask.c lines 79-82 #define NUM_X 90 #define NUM_Y 1170L // get rid of this someday #define NUM_Z 50 #define MULTDIM 7 and readtile_mpiio.c lines 115-119 facetElements1D = 90; tileSizeX = 30; tileSizeY = 30; xGhosts = 8; yGhosts = 8; One tile per rank is recommended, mostly for pickup input performance, but it is not strictly necessary. Choose dumpFreq and pChkptFreq as usual. We're not set up to do the rolling checkpoints yet. It'll dump u,v,t, and etan now - send me a list of other fields you want, as it is rather involved to change them. But this should be enough to see if it works.
