My current understanding is that if we run simulations standard Lumerical engine, it should be efficiently using only 32 cores, and, in principle, increasing the number of cores should yield no benefits. However, the simulation time still significantly decreases if I use a larger number of cores. Why is it the case?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also, does anyone have experience using hpc Lumerical licenses? Did you see clear benefits as compared with just using standard engine licenses?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-292501","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-batch-hpc","topic-tag-hpc","topic-tag-hpc-cluster-1","topic-tag-hpc-licences-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["192317","4274"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.217.200.71"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["552"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["292501"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27833"],"_bbp_engagement":["4274","192317"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["292803"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["292803"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-07-12 15:45:23"]},"test":"sokhoyancaltech-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/292501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/292501\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
