Parallelized implementation
Hi, I would like to know if there is a limited of cpus when parallelized implementation, and so on the number of balls generated.
Thanks in advance, Alvin

Hi Alvin,
could you, please, be more specific? You want to know how many
particles can be in one simulation?

Hi Anton,
you got what i mean. I want to know how many particles can be simulated in
one test, and how many cpus of the computer can be called in one simulation.
Is there a limitaton for that? I mean the capacity of YADE in simulation.

Yade is paralleled with OpenMP, but the number of particles is
__very__ dependent on your simulation, how many contacts you have, how
"dynamic" is your simulation etc.
I am using 6x-core CPU for some tests. Roughly - 5*10^5 particles is,
probably, the upper border.
But again: it can be sufficiently more or less.

Actually, the maximum number of particles only depends on you RAM memory
(well, you could also swap...). It is independant on parallelization.
I remember that my PFC2D simulations (almost 10 years ago...) needed to
specify an allocated RAM of 8Mo via a DOS command, in order to simulate
more than 10k particles. Else it wouldn't fit.
With modern RAM capacities, I guess you can reach 10 millions easily in
Yade. If your simulation needs 10 time steps, that's ok. If it needs
more that 100k, it will be a little long...

Thanks Chareyre, that solved my question.
