Hi,

I'm running pulsatile simulation for 4 heart cycles with svSolver with following time parameters - 500 steps per one cycle:

Code: Select all

Number of timesteps: 2000
Time Step Size: 0.002
Number of Timesteps between Restarts: 25

I see that the simulation ends at the timestep 1938:

Code: Select all

  
  1937 2.934E+04 4.498E-02  (  -9)   2.106E-02   1.534E-05  <  8112-15|  13> [   0 -   0]
  1937 2.934E+04 3.317E-03  ( -20)   2.234E-03   8.964E-06  <  8112-15|  16> [   0 -   0]
  1937 2.935E+04 3.263E-04  ( -30)   4.344E-03   3.426E-02  < 11088-31|  15> [   0 -   0]
  1938 2.935E+04 4.408E-02  (  -9)   2.042E-02   2.909E-04  <  7304-18|  10> [   0 -   0]
  1938 2.935E+04 3.077E-03  ( -21)   2.256E-03   1.503E-05  <  8112-15|  12> [   0 -   0]

I would like the simulation to be resolved for all 2000 steps. I'm wondering what could be the cause of the simulation finishing early - I don't see any error being thrown or logged. Could be so that there is some trigger terminating the simulation upon reaching some convergence criterion?

Best,
Patryk

Hi Patryk,

What OS and SV version are you using. Are you running the solver from SV or on an HPC cluster?

Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Hereby the version of software I use:
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.6
svSolver: 2021-09-30 release

I'm running solver via terminal with following command on a single computing node with 64 cores (using 32 with MPI):

Code: Select all

mpiexec -np 32 "$sv_path/svsolver"

Best,
Patryk

Hi Patryk,

I don't know what might be going on here, the history file residuals look fine.

Please email me at davep@stanford.edu the solver input files (no result files) and I'll have a look.

Cheers,
Dave

Hey! Got into a similar problem today using 48 cores. I was trying to asses how well was scaling the computing time with the number of cores and while trying 48 after ~300 iterations the simulation stopped while in total there were 6000 iterations. It just happened that I clean the simulation directory, ran the simulation again (was not too long) and it worked fine.
