Hi Eve,
I'm trying to use mpi4py as this iteration takes a very long time on serial but I'm getting an error very similar to the error I received when I tried mpi4py with clump finding routine:
Clump finding does not work in parallel - at least the expensive part of it (where the gravitational boundedness of the clump is tested) is definitely not parallel. You might want to experiment with changing your opening angle to see if it speeds things up enough to justify the loss in accuracy: http://yt-project.org/doc/analysis_modules/clump_finding.html Good luck! -- Stephen Skory s@skory.us http://stephenskory.com/ 510.621.3687 (google voice)
