Parallel Version

Hello,

I have a new laptop. It has an Intel Core 2 CP T7200 @ 2. GHz processor with 1 Gb RAM.

Opensees V1.7.3 runs only at 50% of the capacity of the computer.

I heared and read something something about parallel version of OPS but I'm not sure if this applies to this case.

Could you give me some advices to compile Opensees in this case?.

By the way, Frank, Could you tell us something about the new version of Opensees and what are the points in which you are working now?.

Will it include a new eigen solver capable for zero values, ie structures with no restrictions?

Regards

the current version of the windows .exe is
compiled for a single processor .. opensees
can be compiled to run on parallel machines
with mpi .. there is a free version of mpi that
can be compiled on wondows machines .. i just have not had time to go and test it yet ..
i am planning on trying it in the next month or two.

There is also a parallel version that came out of UC Davis for linux.

(click the link for research),

or you can email
Professor Jeremic directly.

Hi Frank,

I see from your reply above that OpenSEES.exe might be available to run in parallel processors.

Is that version available yet?

Thanks,
Smitha

I'm also very interested in getting this working. I have found a page here http://www.cs.usfca.edu/mpi/ which links to several different mpi distributions for windows , linux, mac (available as binary installers). Do you think these would provide the necessary libraries for a parallel version to be compiled in Windows?

Hello,

I have read on the change log of the V1.7.4 version that has been added some code for building a parallel version.

Unfortunately, I have checked the source code (the link of the windows version is not rigth. I have use the link for the unix version) and I have not found any instructions or solution provided for this type of version.

Have you already check the possibility of creating a parallel version of Opensees for Windows that you indicated on a previous post?. Is there any instruction available for it?

Regards,
