The reported speedup is what was measured on a cluster with a simulation of 10k particles. It might vary quite a lot depending on the actual simulation, and I suppose also depending on what constitutive law one uses: those that access scene->bodies are very likely to suffer when run in parallel.
Perhaps it is because I have very little experience, but estimating speedup of parallel code is crystal gazing for me. v _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
