Hey guys
I'm trying to do some parallel processing using Ansys fluent 18 but I have a problem.

When I set processs to e.g. 35 I get this error:

Code:
hp-reep is already loaded (92.9758%).                       Process affinity not being set.
And this report is what I get after running Fluent:

Code:
Host spawning Node 0 on machine "hp-reep" (win64).
Host 0 -- ip 192.178.26.82 -- ranks 0 - 34

LuckyTran has a spectacular aura aboutLuckyTran has a spectacular aura aboutLuckyTran has a spectacular aura about
It is a warning message. It's a job scheduling problem and there's almost nothing you can do about it from inside Fluent. It basically means your cpu is busy doing other things and will not prioritize your Fluent processes. Fluent will be running in the background compared to whatever else is being done by your system.

What you can do, is stop running other programs. Figure out what is utilizing the cpu and shut it down, or run on a fewer number of available cores.

This message is a hint:

Code:
hostname is already loaded (##%).
Whatever % is how much % cpu is already being utilized. If it's 90% then your cpu is already 90% loaded doing other stuff.

Thank you!

I suspected this should be the problem, but I needed someone who really knows this.
I've read some thread about this, turned off hyperthreading as suggested and now barely got this message.

Hi Dear friend,

I use an Intel processor that has 24 physical cores. When I use the number of cores for example 14 or 16 or... in order to parallelize and reduce the solution time, my solution goes slowly. What should I do ?

Thankyou
