#1075: Test cases with specific number of processes --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: review Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by hinder):
I wouldn't worry about this. Typical machines have at least 4 cores per node, and I don't think any of the tests ask for more processes than this. We can still ask for as many OpenMP threads as we like, in order to test OpenMP.
Cactus does not output the number of MPI processes used for the test, but Carpet does, to standard output ("There are XX processes in total"). It might be convenient to modify the test system to output the number of processes to its log file for each test as well. Of course, this is going to break all the ad-hoc parsers because we are not using an extensible output format.
