Large Model

Post by brag006 » Wed May 25, 2016 2:07 pm

Hi Everyone,

I have a relatively large model that is taking approximately 12 days to run on a cluster. Unfortunately I'm not actually utlising the full capabilities of the cluster because I don't know how to run this large model using multiple processors.

Basically I successfully use OpenSeesMP for running parametric studies, but I want to run one long EQ motion for one model. I don't know how to speed up that process so that each analysis step is being done faster.

I've tried using OpenSeesSP but that is giving me all kinds of errors. I don't know if it's because of the way it was compiled on the cluster or due to some other reason.

So again I'm looking at ways of improving the speed at which each step is completed.

Any guidance would be much much appreciated.

do you compile parallel with MUMPS options? .. how large is the model? and what are errors with SP??
