Parallel Processing Options
There are two approaches to using multiple processing cores within a node with LS-DYNA. The first is Shared Memory Parallel processing which uses ncpu=X to define the number of cores to use. The alternative is Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) which uses the flag -np=X. To use MPP, you also need to use the -dis flag to enable distributed processing. The difference between these settings for one sample job can be seen below:
Original run: lsdyna memory=${memory}M i=all.k ncpu=5
estimated total cpu time = 290065 sec ( 80 hrs 34 mins)
estimated cpu time to complete = 290061 sec ( 80 hrs 34 mins)
estimated total clock time = 59061 sec ( 16 hrs 24 mins)
estimated clock time to complete = 59059 sec ( 16 hrs 24 mins)
Run using -dis flag: lsdyna memory=${memory}M -dis i=all.k ncpu=5
estimated total cpu time = 38261 sec ( 10 hrs 37 mins)
estimated cpu time to complete = 38260 sec ( 10 hrs 37 mins)
estimated total clock time = 45861 sec ( 12 hrs 44 mins)
estimated clock time to complete = 45859 sec ( 12 hrs 44 mins)
Run using "lsdyna -dis memory=${memory}M pr=aa_r_dy i=all.k -np 5"
estimated total cpu time = 20336 sec ( 5 hrs 38 mins)
estimated cpu time to complete = 20336 sec ( 5 hrs 38 mins)
estimated total clock time = 22135 sec ( 6 hrs 8 mins)
estimated clock time to complete = 22134 sec ( 6 hrs 8 mins)
