Hi All,

My question is regarding cartesian topology functions though i've to
admit it isn't directly related to LAM/MPI.

MPI_CART_CREATE(comm_old, ndims, dims, periods, reorder, comm_cart)
1. Is there any restriction on the value of ndims. Is it possible to
have ndims > 3 ?

2. If its fine to have ndims > 3, then does LAM/MPI support it ?

MPI_CART_SHIFT(comm, direction, disp, rank_source, rank_dest)
3. Lets suppose ndims=3 [cube(x,y,z)], then disp variable would allow to
shift parameters (find neighbours) on x and y axis of the cube, is it
possible to shift parameters (find neighbours) on z-axis ?

Thanks in advance
