Ok I understand. Anyway thanks for explanation. My software is Blender.
I dont know why for such a thing like fluid dynamics somebody somebody
coded software without multithreading. I will ask on Blender forum maybe
there is any good version with support for multithreading. Thanks for
fast and profi support :) I appriaciate.

Konrad,
The first thing to do is to recompile your application using a
parallelizing compiler with proper parameter equal to the number of
cores on your server. This of course assumes that you have the
source
code for your application.
For a properly written Fortran and C application a modern
parallelizing compiler would do a great job.
Note that today you may have easily 48 real physical cores i.e. 96
independent parallel threads of execution with hyperthreading turned
on a modern Intel x86_64 server such as HP DL980 G7.
Then the next step is to tune the application on the source code
level to increase its parallelism such that it can actually use the
96
threads.
Only then, if the elapsed time of your processing is still
unacceptably long (weeks), you would move to a HPTC cluster. This is
very expensive - the Infiniband interconnects do not come cheap and
you still need to put in a few man years of work to tune your code
for
the HPTC cluster.
I hope this helps.

Chris Jankowski

Hi Gurus,
I would like to ask You about something. Since few days I`m
preparing 3D fluid simulation. The problem is that my simulation is
rendered only on one core. CPU usage provading information that only
1
core is 100% used by process. In my opinion this software doesnt
support
multithreading thats why everything is calculated on one core.
Is it possible to build some kind of HPC cluster where this single
process could be distributed for several machines ?
I`m not thinking about dividing this job for several small peaces
and
distributing them. I`m thinking about infrastructure where single
process could use CPU power from several machines at the same time.
Is it possible to do this on RH or Fedora ?
cheers
Konrad
