Issues related with parallel computations

After installing the "Automatic Installer" in Windows (Installation using "Auto Installer") you get two different prompts: one for scalar computations and another for parallel computations.

The following instructions were carried aout on version v7p0 of open-telemac.

Once you open the prompt for parallel computations you can run your model in the usual way (Run a case). However, the simulation will start only if the appropriate binaries have been compiled and are present in the appropriate folder inside the path "v7p0/builds". This was not my case.

Open the parallel prompt again and run:

   compileTELEMAC.py

If it works you have just accomplished your job, otherwise go on reading.

In order to solve this issue take a look at the following links:

http://www.opentelemac.org/index.php/kunena/2-windows-version/7980-telemac-parallel#17589

The procedure I followed is this:

1) download the file "systel.parallel.cfg" from the link above and save it into the folder "v7p0/configs";

2) open the file and, in case, change the root-path;

3) go inside the folder builds and run in the parallel prompt

    compileTELEMAC.py -f path_to_your_folder/v7p0/configs/systel.parallel.cfg -c wing64mpi

4) everything should be compiled;

5) now yoy can run in parallel using the command

    artemis.py -f path_to_your_folder/v7p0/configs/systel.parallel.cfg your_file.cas
