Multi-core processing

Submitted by pawandubey on Fri, 05/21/2021 - 05:10

Hello everyone!! I am a new to liggghts and have installed and successfully running my simulation. The only issue is that liggghts uses 1 by 1 by 1 mpi grid set up even though I give command mpirun -np 8 .................
I am using Ubuntu 18.04 on a 12 logical core system. Someone please help.

Thanks for your reply. I have attached a screenshot of the terminal when I run my simulation. You can see the grid division is 1 by 1 by 1 even though I have used 8 cores in the running command.

Sorry I am new to forum and could not find how to attach a file. I am posting the terminal lines here.
