Farming in Conjunction with Parallel Computing
Large problems may require that Feko be run in parallel (simulation spread over more than one host or processor - not the same as farming.)
Example
Run the Solver in parallel, while farming out the
optimisation steps using a specified number of processes. For
example:
optfeko <x> -np <n_farming> --machines-file <m> --runfeko-options -np <n_parallel>
where:- <x>
- File name of the model
- <n_farming>
- Number of farming processes
- <n_parallel>
- Number of parallel processes
- <m>
- File name of the machines file
Note: For optimisation using the Solver in parallel, but
not
farming:
optfeko <x> --runfeko-options -np <n_parallel> --machines-file <m>
