Figure 2: Result of scalability test. Abscissa and ordinate denote the Nastran High performance settings, distributed memory parallel (DMP) and shared memory parallel (SMP), while applicate is the performance of the strategy via combinations of DMP - and SMP settings.
DMP 4 + SMP 4 is the best strategy due to minimal elapsed time and medium CPU, memory usage, which means multiple simulations can be parallel started on 1 computation node.
