so, in windows I have to open parallel settings and when I did it, do I have to choose STARTINFO with the button browser or just push the green button Start?kevinarden wrote: ↑17 Jun 2021, 14:45 Yes it can be used in windows.
You could try mpiexec instead of mpirun, MPICH uses mpiexec.

Re: PARALLELING COMPUTATION
If under the run parallel settings, the use parallel check box is on. Then the green start button will run the parallel solver.

Re: PARALLELING COMPUTATION
If you are on windows you can go to the C drive in explorer and search for mpi to see if it finds any executable starting with mpi such as
mpirun.exe
mpiexec.exe
If it does not find anything then mpi is not installed.
on the unix machine you can do
find /usr -name "mpi*"
mpirun.exe
mpiexec.exe
If it does not find anything then mpi is not installed.

find /usr -name "mpi*"

Hello,
In Windows 10, with last nights build of ElmerGUI with mpi, the settings in the attached screen shot worked while running the FlowStepKe tutorial.
As a separate note, the tutorial ran to completion in serial, but in parallel it stopped after 7 iterations saying 'Diverged'.

Re: PARALLELING COMPUTATION
The same .sif file is used in serial or in parallel in ElmerGUI.
Note, also make sure there aren't any spaces in the path (directories) to your example.

Re: PARALLELING COMPUTATION
You should check that mpiexec.exe exists in your windows installation, for example it does on my W10 desktop, but it does not on my W10 laptop.
Re: PARALLELING COMPUTATION
One way to check that mpiexec.exe is installed in Windows 10, is to open a command prompt and enter 'mpiexec'. If it is installed, then you should see something like this:
Microsoft MPI Startup Program [Version 10.1.12498.18]
Launches an application on multiple hosts.
