If a Cartesian topology has been created with MPI_CART_CREATE, the function MPI_CART_SUB can be used to partition the communicator group into subgroups that form lower-dimensional Cartesian subgrids, and to build for each subgroup a communicator with the associated subgrid Cartesian topology. If all entries in remain_dims are false or comm is already associated with a zero-dimensional Cartesian topology then newcomm is associated with a zero-dimensional Cartesian topology. (This function is closely related to MPI_COMM_SPLIT.)
Example
Assume that MPI_CART_CREATE (..., comm) has defined a
(2 × 3 × 4) grid. Let remain_dims = (true, false, true).
Then a call to
MPI_CART_SUB(comm, remain_dims, comm_new);will create three communicators each with eight processes in a 2 × 4 Cartesian topology. If remain_dims = (false, false, true) then the call to MPI_CART_SUB(comm, remain_dims, comm_new) will create six non-overlapping communicators, each with four processes, in a one-dimensional Cartesian topology.
