Running WRF with mpiexec

[ikki0123]

Hello, my question is the following. If I run WRF with MPI and other nodes (Cluster ) is the execution time shorter? I did a test and it seems to me that I didn't see any difference in execution time. I don't know if I did something wrong. My test was as follows
First I used a node with 8 cores, then I tested it with another node totaling 16 cores, but I didn't notice any difference in the execution time.
I am using mpiexec

Is RAM bus speed still a bottleneck

I am buying a new computer to replace the one I have been using to run WRF for the past few years. I'm going to get the intel i9 12900 cpu which has 16 cores and 24 threads. I am still deciding if I should buy cheaper ddr4 memory with bus speed of 3600 MHz or ddr5 ram with higher bus speed. I've...

I am interested in buying a new computer and want to know the necessary requirements for building WRF on my machine

There are a number of components to the WRF modeling system. The pre-processors in the WPS package tend to not use much memory unless the domain has a large number of grid cells in each direction. Even for a 1000x1000 domain, we usually find that the geogrid and metgrid programs are able to run...

It doesn't look like you're actually using multiple processors. I'm not sure what is going on, but those messages should look more like (for e.g., if you are using 8 processors):
starting wrf task 0 of 8
starting wrf task 1 of 8
starting wrf task 2 of 8
starting wrf task 3 of 8
starting wrf task 4 of 8
starting wrf task 5 of 8
starting wrf task 6 of 8
starting wrf task 7 of 8

You may need to discuss this with a systems administrator at your institution to see if they can help you get it set up correctly.

I also found it strange, Apparently I'm running the same process several times. Thanks for the note, I'll take another look. Any news come back here.
