Inspire not using CPU and RAM available

Altair Forum User

Dears,

 

I recently upgraded my RAM from 32GB to 96GB to speed up the optimisation process.

 

In the preference menu I set the:

- Number of CPUs = 8 (all the cores available)

- Memory allocated to the solver (MB) = 75000 (machine has 96000)

 

Still, during the optimisation, CPU usage maxes out at ±20% while RAM is hoovering around 30% (23GB). I'm running in-core according to the topoOpt.out file.

 

Is there anything I can do to utilise more of the hardware and speed up the optimisation?

 

I'm using Inspire 2016.2  

 

Thanks
