How to use maximum power of my system

Post by Hamedgh » Fri Apr 10, 2015 2:06 pm

My command took more than 3 hours to run completely. I guess it is not using maximum power of my system because whenever I check cpu usage from task manager it shows 4.0% cpu usage and also just uses few cores of cpu. What should I do to use all the cores and also maximum power of each in my calculations?

Regards,
HG

Dear Hamed
You can use parallel computation in abinit to use all cores.

Run abinit > go to thae task manager > right click on the program > go to process > right click on the process > select priority and chek off "high".
