Dear developer of SU2
I am doing a parallel computation with 3 million grid. As a start, I use 1 node with 8 cores to run. But the speed is so slow.
After 5-6 hours, it only run 5 time steps. In fact I also test 5 nodes (per node with 8 cores) to run.
And the speed is still so slow. So for SU2 _v3.0, which I used, is there any deficiency for parallel computation of SU2v3.0.
Thank you very much.

Jianming

As a explanation, I also paste the PBS job file as follows:
############################################
#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=8:mem=14gb

#Request hours of walltime
#
#PBS -l walltime=160:00:00
#
#PBS -j oe
#PBS -o BX.log
#PBS -N BXcase1
#
#
cd /home/jamesliu/WingCase1
echo " "
echo " "
echo "Job started on `hostname` at `date`"
/opt/sgi/mpt/mpt-2.07/bin/mpirun -np 8 SU2_DDC turb_DW.cfg
/opt/sgi/mpt/mpt-2.07/bin/mpirun -np 8 SU2_CFD turb_DW.cfg
/opt/sgi/mpt/mpt-2.07/bin/mpirun -np 8 SU2_SOL turb_DW.cfg
echo " "
echo "Job Ended at `date`"
echo " "

I am sorry. Maybe the reason is our cluster is too old.

There is an Intel Parallel Computing Center focused on SU2:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/art...cs-at-stanford

We are working very hard to be sure that SU2 v4.0 will be a reference in CFD performance using the latest Intel Technology.

Best,
Francisco

Hi,
I'm trying to run SU2 on my cluster and, like liujmljm, I'm using PBS too.
With the same bash as him, I'm able to lunch the job without any error from PBS, but the job do not start.
If I look at SU2_PRT log it says that SU2_PRT do not exist, but this is strange since I'm able to lunch simulations overriding the PBS.
Any ideas?

Best regards,
Giulio

My script has slightly changed at the first line.
The olde one (#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=8:mem=14gb) in our cluster, it doesn't work.

So I use the following.

############################################
#PBS -l nodes=1: ppn=8

#Request hours of walltime
#
#PBS -l walltime=160:00:00
#
#PBS -j oe
#PBS -o BX.log
#PBS -N BXcase1
#
#
cd /home/jamesliu/WingCase1
echo " "
echo " "
echo "Job started on `hostname` at `date`"
/opt/sgi/mpt/mpt-2.07/bin/mpirun -np 8 SU2_PRT turb_DW.cfg
/opt/sgi/mpt/mpt-2.07/bin/mpirun -np 8 SU2_CFD turb_DW.cfg
/opt/sgi/mpt/mpt-2.07/bin/mpirun -np 8 SU2_SOL turb_DW.cfg
echo " "
echo "Job Ended at `date`"
echo " "

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately this not worked too, maybe is because I've installed SU2 locally.
You've installed it locally too?

Yes I installed SU2 in a directory under my home directory.

Hi Giulio.

Can you try:

ssh node
mpirun -np 8 /pathtoSU2/SU2_PRT your.cfg

If you are using sgi mpt (our case):

mpirun node -np 8 SU2_PRT your.cfg
mpirun node -np 8 SU2_CFD your.cfg (work for me)

Both lines I put in our PBS job file and is working.

Regards.
