Re: [Getfem-users] Compiling getfem with openmp

[Andriy Andreykiv]

Dear  Prajjwal,

Could you try the latest master branch? This issue with copying is solved there.

Regarding your motivation, to run several fem simulations simultaneously. It works a bit different. Open mp parallelization of getfem

primarily relates to parallel assembly for stiffness matrices and RHSs for a single simulation (not even the solver). 

If you really want to launch multiple independent simulations in parallel you don't need OpenMP.

You can launch them one by one through a command line or a script.

Best regards,

                       Andriy

Dear Getfem users,

I am trying to compile getfem 5.3 with --enable-openmp flag. During the build process i get the following error:

bgeot_geometric_trans.cc: In instantiation of ‘void bgeot::igeometric_trans<FUNC>::compute_grad_() const [with FUNC = bgeot::polynomial<double>]’:

I found a post on similar problem but there was no solution:

I want to run several fem simulations simultaneously, each in its own thread. My another question is do i need to include additional header files or some other openmp specific instructions in getfem or the usual openmp instructions will be sufficient?

Thank you for your help.

Best,

Prajjwal
