Parallelization over two cores of one CPU in one machine
« on: November 19, 2015, 07:19 »
I am trying to parallelize the simulation over two cores in one CPU (OS is CentOS 6.6).
Can anyone please guide me how to proceed with it?
I tried installing mpich2 (by following the tutorial http://quantumwise.com/publications/tutorials/item/509-mpi-setup-for-running-atk-in-parallel-on-a-simple-cluster ) but that's probably not the solution.

Thanks for you help!

This doesn't seem to be a good idea  :-\  Because of the shared resources and memory problem. I get it now.

It depends on your machine of course - if you have 8 GB memory (not uncommon) and run 2 processes, you can get a nice speedup. But sure, if you have 2 GB and run a big calculation , then it will not work.
