Dear Wien users
When I run Wien2k on a Linux-openMosix cluster, lapw1 and lapw2 (k-point
parallel) processes mostly use a low percentage of the available CPU
time. Typically only 10-50% of each processor is used, with values below
10% and above 90% also occuring. On the other hand single processes,
such as lapw0, etc, typically use 99.9% processor power of one
processor. On each node, (number of jobs) = (number of processors).
This low CPU utilizatioin does not occur on a dual processor linux
machine, where cpu utilization is mostly 99.9%.
Any suggestions on improving the CPU utilisation of lapw1c and lapw2 on
mosix clusters would be appreciated.
Regards
Enrico Lombardi
