My code is only a MPI program and I would like to know if it's better to use more nodes or more CPUs with mpirun.<br>This question comes from the speed up of my code using that cluster. I have a small problem. The global matrices are 600x600. Are they too small to see a speed up with more mpiprocess? I notice that a single core simulation and a multi cores one take a similar time (multi core a second more). The real problem comes when I have to run multiple simulation of the same code changing some parameters. So I would like to speed up the single simulation. <br>Any advices?<br><br>Luca Verzeroli</div></div></body></html>
