Thank you a lot, Alberto. In OpenFOAM, BICCG is diagonal ILU preconditioned BiCG solver, so it can be used to solve an asymmetrical or symmetrical matrix. :)

FYI, some updates.
1. I failed to use PGI compiler to recompile the OpenFOAM, lots of errors. And ICC, I failed again, something strange wrong. My system info: 64 bits AMD Opteron(tm) 8347HE 1900MHz, InfiniBand So, Henry said b4 he did not gain much using Icc over Gcc. I have no idea about this, anyway, I have recompiled the newest version of Gcc for now. 2. About Scotch, sorry for the misleading, I just read the "New Features" on the official website of OpenCFD, and it claims metis will be replaced with Scotch in the next release. 3. A question, If mpi implementation is compiled with compilers other than Gnu-Gcc, but OpenFOAM is compiled with Gcc, and, If they are both compiled with Gnu-Gcc, Which combination is faster? I asked bcoz, the system mpi implementation (openmpi) is not compiled by Gnu-Gcc, but PGI's compiler. 4. i have problem installing mvapich2 which is designed for infiniband. Bcoz, several days before, the simulation of combination openmpi+OpenFOAM (both are compiled with Gcc) was so slow that I want to shoot somebody. So now I want to have a try of mpich2+openfoam (both are compiled with Gcc). My team does not have a CFD background, I hope I could stop messing about and graduate as early as possible. |
Some Updates.
And thanks to everyone. :) |
