Dear all

 

I wrote a code using deal.II. Now, I want to compare effect of the number 
of cores on the simulation time. The code is developed based on step-42 
from deal.II tutorial. 

The code is executed in Ubuntu 14.04, Intel core i5 and 4GB ram as,

mpirun –n <number of cores> ./code parameter_file.prm 

The obtained results for 1, 2 and 4 cores is,

Number of cores | Total wall clock time 

            1          |           1.22s

            2          |           0.90s

            4          |           0.93s


Why the wall clock time for 4 cores is greater than the one obtained with 2 
cores.


I also executed step-42 (Just 2 cycles)  and the same pattern is observed,

Number of cores | Total wall clock time 

            1          |           4.73s

            2          |           4.13s

            4          |           5.89s
