Hello everbody,

mc cpu has 8 cores. i have now 8 simulations to do, which will take a lot of time.

What do you think is faster:
- to run all 8 simulations simultaneously in serial mode
- to do one simulation after the other in parallel mode with 8 cores per simulation?


Best regards

Hello h0rst,

Do one simulation in parallel mode with 8 cores.
Simultaneously, you can check the residuals for solution convergence. So once after converging the solution with conclusive results, you can proceed with other cases promptly.

Thank you

It depends. Small cases, I will solve 8 cases at the same time.

For large cases I will check RAM etc. So may be 2 or 1 at most.

If you run them serial, you need 8 solver licenses. Do you have them?
