Running Plecs on multi-core machine

Question

Hi !

I tried to run a simulation on a multicore linux machine but I noticed that the simulation's speed is quite the same. (just little bit higher)

Is there a way to increase the speed with this type of machine? A different license? Something to change in Plecs's parameter?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Currently, PLECS uses just a single core for computing a PLECS model. A second core (if available) is only employed for the GUI, e.g. for preparing the graphical output in PLECS scopes. This is why you cannot speed up the simulation of a single PLECS model by having more than two cores.

However, if you run multiple simulations simultaneously, they will automatically distributed to different cores.

Thank you so much!

hi 

I wrote a workarund in python to do that, it generate more variants of the same simulation and then run parallel with gui automatization

 you can find on my github https://github.com/tinix84/pyplecs
