about MPI_Comm_size(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,&size)

[Yixun Liu]

Hi,

Can I think that if I set -np 100, but only have 2 actually, the size will be 100?
Another question,I run the progarm from VC++6.0 instead of command line. How to make the program run on 2 processors?

Best,

Yixun

    My computer is a standare dual processors PC of Dell corp., but after calling   ierr = PI_Comm_size(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,&size), I find the size is one. Is it correct?

  MPI only knows what mpiruns tells it. You ran the exampe with -np 1. If you use -np 2, then it will have size 2.
