Thread safety

[florianhartig]

Hi David,

we have been encountering a number of issues running modified BASFOR code in parallel, and have come to the conclusion that the code is currently probably not thread-safe, due to the global variables to which functions write.

Did you think about this / encounter any issues with parallelisation?

Best,
Florian

Sorry no we haven't ever tried running BASFOR with threads.

It's probably as you say having variables in modules that is causing the issues.

What are you using for the parallelisation?

I presume something like MPI would work but would require some recoding?
