  slap.init.grid(nprow, npcol = 1, ictxt = 0)
  slap.exit.grid(ictxt)
  slap.finalize(quit.mpi = FALSE)

Arguments

nprow

number of row processors.

npcol

number of column processors.

ictxt

the grid id

quit.mpi

if finalize MPI.

Details

This function arranges all processors in a (nprow * npcol) grid and the grid will map the big data matrix.
