Hi
I have a question about parallel performance. Im using a quadcore processor with only 2gb of memmory running on win xp. I have set up a 2D model and the solver slows down the more cores I use when I run in local parallel mode. For me it is a lot faster to run in serial mode. Is this because the bottle neck is the communication between the different partitions or is there another explanation? Best regards |
