I see… that might be the problem. I’ll check it tomorrow. Thank you! Miguel

Then the length between each vertex will be different between periodic and non-periodic case. With 10 points and non-periodic, it will be 1/9, and with periodic it will be 1/10th. Is this what you are asking about? I am using the DMDA as an auxiliar mesh to do the domain partitioning in the DMSWARM.

If vertex centered then discretization size is 1/3 if periodic and 1/2 if not periodic If cell-centered then each cell has width 1/3 for both periodic and not periodic but in both cases you can think of the discretization size as constant along the whole cube edge. Is this related to DMSWARM in particular? On Nov 20, 2024, at 12:56 PM, MIGUEL MOLINOS PEREZ <mmoli...@us.es> wrote: I mean that if the dimensions of the cube are 1x1x1 (for example). And I want 10 elements per edge, the discretization size must be 0.1 constant over the whole cube edge. This is not in the code, I just impose the number of elements per edge.

The distribution has to be uneven, hence 0 2 and 2 3 When I change the code to use ndiv_mesh_* = 4 and run with periodic or not I get $ PETSC_OPTIONS="" mpiexec -n 8 ./atoms-3D -dm_view DM Object: 8 MPI processes type: da Processor [0] M 4 N 4 P 4 m 2 n 2 p 2 w 1 s 1 X range of indices: 0 2, Y range of indices: 0 2, Z range of indices: 0 2 Processor [1] M 4 N 4 P 4 m 2 n 2 p 2 w 1 s 1 X range of indices: 2 4, Y range of indices: 0 2, Z range of indices: 0 2 Processor [2] M 4 N 4 P 4 m 2 n 2 p 2 w 1 s 1 X range of indices: 0 2, Y range of indices: 2 4, Z range of indices: 0 2 Processor [3] M 4 N 4 P 4 m 2 n 2 p 2 w 1 s 1 X range of indices: 2 4, Y range of indices: 2 4, Z range of indices: 0 2 Processor [4] M 4 N 4 P 4 m 2 n 2 p 2 w 1 s 1 X range of indices: 0 2, Y range of indices: 0 2, Z range of indices: 2 4 Processor [5] M 4 N 4 P 4 m 2 n 2 p 2 w 1 s 1 X range of indices: 2 4, Y range of indices: 0 2, Z range of indices: 2 4 Processor [6] M 4 N 4 P 4 m 2 n 2 p 2 w 1 s 1 X range of indices: 0 2, Y range of indices: 2 4, Z range of indices: 2 4 Processor [7] M 4 N 4 P 4 m 2 n 2 p 2 w 1 s 1 X range of indices: 2 4, Y range of indices: 2 4, Z range of indices: 2 4 so it is splitting as expected each rank gets a 2 by 2 by 2 set of indices. Could you please let me know what the problem is that I should be seeing.

In contrast, if I use DM_BOUNDARY_NONE, all 8 bricks have the same size. I have used this together with the DMSWarm discretization. And as you can see the number of particles per rank is not evenly distributed: 210 420 366 732 420 840 732 1464 Am I missing something?
