Size and Distrib

A Cactus grid function or array has a size set at runtime by parameters. This size can either be the global size of the array across all processors (DISTRIB=DEFAULT), or, if DISTRIB=CONSTANT, the specified size on each processor. If the size is split across processors, the driver thorn is responsible for assigning the size on each processor.
