does Hyperthreading affect the application of UDF?

SJSW · October 9, 2018, 11:56

Hi~

I wrote a udf using a DEFINE_PROFILE example in the manual.

This udf was applied in Fluent 19.1 on Windows 10.
The CPU is Intel Core i7-7700.

This udf could be compiled and built, but there were some warnings.
If I continue to load it, errors showed up.

I am wondering if the hyper-threading is the reason, because the warning said that it was Automatically switched to run in parallel -t1 mode, and I was running in Serial.

Had anyone handled this situation?
Could you tell me how to solve this?
Thank you!

One can find information about hyperthreading written in the file "Installation_and_Licensing_Documentation.pdf" or the InstalHelp.
It says:
「
If you are running on Intel's Xeon EM64T system, we recommend that you turn CPU hyperthreading
off (default is on). A system administrator needs to reboot the system and enter the BIOS to turn
the hyperthreading option off.
」
「
Hyperthreading technology uses one processor core to run more than one task at a time. ANSYS does
not recommend using hyperthreading technology in conjunction with ANSYS CFD Solvers (Fluent, CFX
and AIM Fluids).We recommend that you turn CPU hyperthreading off (default is on). A system administrator
needs to reboot the system and enter the BIOS to turn the hyperthreading option off.

Here are the error messages:

A. Run in Serial:
The messages appeared on the TUI window are as follows:
「

Hyperthreading should always be off for CFD applications but that is not the cause of your problems. Hyperthreading is invisible to running programs and is handled at the job scheduler level, which you have no control over.

Fluent is deprecating its serial mode to ensure users always make their udf's parallel compatible (hence the parallel -t1 message). It's running parallel Fluent with one process. If all else fails and you need to use the true serial Fluent, you need to pass the -t0 flag.

Your errors are the same in both cases. Your UDF is not compiled for parallel usage. Sorry I can't help you with how to write your udf or help you debug what is wrong with it. But your problem & solution is just to figure out how to make your udf parallel-ready.

The Fluent manual needs to be updated. I followed the steps for a pressure profile and I got a parse error when I tried to load the udf. Unfortunately I didn't devote any time to figuring out what steps have changed since I haven't recently used any udf's. Probably I am missing some very basic understanding that someone else can easily point out.

Did you compile UDF library before using it?

I add the udf file by following steps:
User Defined-> Functions -> Compiled-> open "Compiled UDFs" window -> add file-> Build -> Load

Did some steps missed?
Could you tell me?
Thank you!

You should turn off hyper-threading but the error is not related to hyper-threading. You simply have failed to compile the "libudf" library. Did you install visual studio and launch fluent from the visual studio command prompt?

I think that I found a solution.
it is different with my experience using earlier version of Fluent such as ANSYS14 and 17.

I check the Environment tab in Fluent Launcher and found that the path of "Set up Compilation Environment for UDF" is empty.
It should be assigned after Visual Studio was installed.

I have not closed hyperthreading in BIOS. maybe later.

So now I have to input this path in the Environment tab when I create a new case file.

Are some steps missing? @@

Those strange codes are not normal, but I can decipher them.
Fluent is asking your operating system to start the program "nmake" to compile your code, but can not find that program. So your operating system responds that it can not find that program, but because you set your language to (I guess) traditional Chinese, the operating system says this in traditional Chinese characters, in Unicode. The Fluent text interface box does not know Unicode, and interprets these multi-byte characters as simple characters, and shows the strange codes that you see.

So, these codes mean that Fluent does not know where the compiler is.

and how can I change the language to English so that I can see the info contained in these strange code?

I check the Environment tab in Fluent Launcher and found that the path of "Set up Compilation Environment for UDF" is empty. It should be assigned after Visual Studio was installed. I have not closed hyperthreading in BIOS. maybe later. So now I have to input this path in the Environment tab when I create a new case file. Are some steps missing? @@
