However, these results are specific to my system, and I&#8217;d like to generalize the results of my simulation to other systems. Also, I don&#8217;t think I can multiply the CPU Time by the  Clock Rate, since I don&#8217;t know how Ansys was utilizing parallel processing.nI was thinking that I could use Resource Monitor to determine the excess processing while Ansys was operating, and then multiply the CPU Time by the averaged Clock Rate minus background processing, to result in CPU Clock Cycles, which seems more generalizable.nAre there better figures of merit for reporting processing load for a given simulation?nThanks for the assistance!n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-50410","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-cpu-time","topic-tag-multiple-cpu"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["22658"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":["\u036fj>"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["432"],"_bbp_subscription":["257006"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["50410"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_engagement":["165063","178124","182867"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["135612"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["135612"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-12-10 05:54:03"]},"test":"gemoore_uw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/50410","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\/50410\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
