Title: NPROC
Post by: luc on August 26, 2014, 06:46:14 AM

Hi,
I now that the makefile in parfeap declares a variable called NPROC, I assume that this is only useful if I want to run jobs using the make utility?
I have nothing to worry about if I want to compile and run with more of less than NPROC as long as don't run my program with a make command?

Best,
Luc

Correct.  If you search the makefile for NPROC, you can easily confirm that.

Yes I read the makefile and that is just what I thought. I'm sorry for the uninteresting question, I am trying to use FEAP and PETSc to test fieldsplit preconditioners on a very large system and it is the first time I am using an HPC facility...
I think I am getting a little paranoid about what the code is doing...

Thanks for the answer anyway!
