What is the best proper value of second per iteration?

dlalstnf · April 6, 2023, 11:25

Hello everyone!

I'm novice of running CFD.
So I don't know proper seconds per iteration.

I know that it depends on problem.

But, generally, Do you have any guideline about this?

In my case, 5 sec / iteration using 124 core..
Is it proper or not?

Thank you!

A case I have has 1M points and the RANS solver with SA runs 5 s/iteration on 1 core.
So if it is scaling entirely linearly, then a 124M points case will also run 5s/iteration on 124 cores.

First thing to check is if your code was compiled with optimization on (debugging off, optimization flag -O2) and if you get a proper linear time reduction in nr of cores when using mpi.
