OptiStruct SMP
Only the OptiStruct Solver currently supports parallel execution. OptiStruct supports a number of parallel execution modes of which two can be used:
Shared memory (SMP) mode uses multiple cores within a single node
Distributed memory (SPMD) mode uses multiple cores across multiple nodes via the MPI library
OptiStruct SMP
You can use up to 48 physical coresfor OptiStruct SMP mode as these are the maximum numbers available on each c18m compute node.
You use the -nt option to OptiStruct to specify the number of cores to use.
For example, to run an 24-core OptiStruct SMP calculation you could use the following job script:
#!/usr/local_rwth/bin/zsh # Slurm job options (name, compute nodes, job time) # Load Hyperworks module # Launch the parallel job |
