 Note that the position in the new topology is not necessarily the same as the position in MPI_COMM_WORLD so make sure that the initial grid setup reflects that.

-MPI-I/O is used so that results can be written to the same file in parallel. Take the serial hello world programs and modify them so that instead of writing the output to screen the output is written to a file using MPI-IO.

 The simplest solution is likely to be for you to create a character buffer, and then use the MPI_File_write_at function.
