Hi,I tried to run a simulation on a server with 2 CPUs (Xeon 5650, 24 cores shown in /proc/cpuinfo totally).If I use "mpirun -np 12 ....." to run the simulation, I get a CPU utilization of 50%.But when I tried to use "mpirun -np 20 ..." to run this simulation, I still get a CPU utilization of about 50%.
Hi Nat,Thanks very much for your reply.
Do you know what kind of bugs may introduce the scalability limit?
Perhaps you only use systemIds from 0-11? Then the extra ranks have (almost) no work, and you'll only see 50% utilization with 24 ranks.

Could you please share your script (attach it please)?
Thanks,
