- I need a way to partition a physical three-dimensional space across a
- mesh of nodes such that each node has as close to a cubic subdivision as
- possible. For example, x=53, y=26, z=44 distributed across 32 nodes should
- give me 32 subdivisions of size x=13.25, y=13, z=11. The exgrid* functions
- in the Express software environment on the Intel Delta (our hardware target)
- would split this (I think) as x=6.625, y=26, z=11, which is not acceptable for
- the algorithm I need to use.
-
- If someone has come up with an efficient way of doing this or has a
- reference, please let me know.
