MPI on a single PC with multiple cores #2252
-
|
Hello, I am experimenting with ways to speed up my 3D simulations in meep. Is this possible to do using MPI on a single machine with multiple cores? I am using a modest computing node with Intel i10 (8 cores), 64 GB RAM, and running Ubuntu. However, I don't think I am utilizing the full available computing power when I run my simulation script from my IDE or terminal. I noticed the usage of mpirun on the simpetus projects page Does this same usage apply to my single node case too, e.g.
Will this add any computational speed benefit or am I just running a copy of the program in each of the jobs from the 8 requested cores? Is there a way to properly parallelize the job to increase computational efficiency on my machine? |

Yes that should work. See the docs: https://meep.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Parallel_Meep/#using-parallel-meep |
