Hi,
I want to know what is the CPU time for a Job when it is submitted with other jobs on I7 Laptop. The TOTAL CPU TIME that we get in the end of Data file is it for one core (not for the eight cores)?
Thanks a lot.
Dear Dr. Gueraiche,
The number of Processor units Used in the Analysis depends on your Job definition.
when you define a job for a particular model, before Job submission, ABAQUS gives you the option to implement multiple CPU Units in parallel.
You can choose the number of CPU units you want to implement in the analysis.
If you didn't specify multiple CPU units, ABAQUS will use one CPU unit
To assign multiple processors to an analysis in "Job Edit" window >> open "Parallelization" section >> check "Use Multiple Processors" and specify the number of CPUs you want to assign to this Job
ABAQUS stats that the number of processors Used will be equall to the number of CPUs assigned before Job Submission.
The more the CPUs units you assign to the Job the faster the Analysis provided that your computer has adequate size of RAMs.
for more information refer to:
Abaqus Analysis User's Guide, “Controlling job parallel execution,” Section 19.8.8

Best Regards.
