Cores

In the Fidelity2023.2 software, select the "control" tab which is located just below the "CAD tree" tool bar. From that point, you can choose the "Resource Control", option, which is found close to the "Start" tab. This option provides users with four choices to execute the simulation, one of which is labeled as "Use GPU".

Thanks for your reply

However, i cannot see where this "Control" tab is located. I am currently using FineMarine 12.1-4  (12.10.004)

The Fidelity software offers the option to include a GPU, however the Fine/Marine software does not provide the option.

Hi Tobias,

How many cores are you asking for your simulation? With the load of your computer you should consider what is suitable for 6 cores. If you ask for 12, it may help a very little bit, but it won't be a factor 2 speed-up. Hyperthreading does not really double your number of cores. 

Fine Marine is not available on GPUs. 

The misunderstanding about Fidelity was caused by the fact that this question was posted in the Flow section of the forum; I will move it to the Marine section.

There are two things you can do:

• Describe in this forum the objectives of your simulation, including domain size and current mesh cell count and the time you expect it to take, to seek for recommendations on how to run efficiently on the available cores. Possibly there are advices we can give you on reducing the cell count or running faster.
• Possibly the objectives you have are simply not feasible with the machine resources you have in the time you expect. In that case it would be good to look for another computer that can run with the number of cores available in your license.

Best regards,
Colinda

I Have tried different with different: 4, 6 and 12 cores. however since i have no clue on how long it would take, i saw no reason in keeping it running
I ran one over 3 hours with no result. However i will try making a new post about help with reducing computation time

Thanks alot
