Summary0002792: postProcess in parallel
DescriptionI noticed jumps in the sampled value using singleGraph function in parallel.
So in order to check that, I tried using the pitzDaily tutorial of simpleFoam and sampled the results over three vertical line at different locations downstream.
Also, I tried using different number of CPUs, please see attached plots.
Steps To Reproduce$ run: pitzDaily tutorial of simpleFoam
$ run: postProcess -func sampleDict -latestTime (dict attached)
$ decomposePar -latestTime (I used scotch method)
$ run: mpirun -np 16 postProcess -func sampleDict -latestTime -parallel
$ use different processors (problem starts from 8 cores)
TagsNo tags attached.
