Extend from single node to multi node

Hi! I think my question might be relevant here. I just built cabanaPIC into a container for the metrics operator in Kubernetes, and I'm interested in how to run it across nodes (using MPI)? So far I've figured out that I can just run cbnpic installed in the example to get a simulation going with some example output. But for Kubernetes it would be nice to map across nodes (pods). Thanks!

Thanks for the interest! CabanaPIC does not currently have MPI support. It would be a moderate amount of effort to add this (the underlying Cabana library handles quite a bit for particle communication)

Ok thanks! Do you have a suggestion for another cabana based simulation (proxy app) that would be good to try?

ExaMPM is both closest to CabanaPIC in terms of method and has also had the most recent updates

ok cool thanks for the advice, I will take a look!
