.. admonition:: Slowdown of Simulations from Charts Window
|
||||
:class: warning
|
||||
|
||||
Using frequent thermo output or having smoothing enabled during long
|
||||
simulations creating many data points for the chart window can result
|
||||
in a significant slowdown of that simulation as it progresses. This
|
||||
can be confirmed when an increasing percentage of the total run time
|
||||
is spent in the "Output" or "Other" sections of the "MPI task timing
|
||||
breakdown". It is thus recommended to use a large enough value as
|
||||
argument for the :doc:`thermo command <thermo>` and to select
|
||||
plotting only the "Raw" data in the *Charts Window* during such
|
||||
simulations. It is always possible to switch between the different
|
||||
display styles for charts during the simulation or after the
|
||||
simulation has finished.
|
||||
|
||||
Using frequent thermo output during long simulations can result in a
|
||||
significant slowdown of that simulation since it is accumulating many
|
||||
data points for the chart window to be redrawn with every update.
|
||||
The updates are consuming additional CPU time when smoothing enabled.
|
||||
This slowdown can be confirmed when an increasing percentage of the
|
||||
total run time is spent in the "Output" or "Other" sections of the
|
||||
:doc:`MPI task timing breakdown <Run_output>`. It is thus
|
||||
recommended to use a large enough value as argument `N` for the
|
||||
:doc:`thermo command <thermo>` and to select plotting only the "Raw"
|
||||
data in the *Charts Window* during such simulations. It is always
|
||||
possible to switch between the different display styles for charts
|
||||
during the simulation and after it has finished.
