[Nektar-users] Using OpenMP on Nektar Libraries.

Hi, I have the following snippet of code and would like to know what I am doing wrong below. Without parallelizing, if this loop look takes 0.01 seconds. When I use k threads, this function is taking k*0.01 seconds. (1) Is there a faster way to evaluate a local expansion at a bunch of points. Or i must assess them 1by1 (2) I tried num threads from k=2 to k=10. This behavior is consistent. always takes (k*0.01). Is this behavior consistent? #pragma omp parallel num_threads(k) for (int i =0 ; i < values.num_elements(); i++) { values[i] = lexp->PhysEvaluate(glCoords.at(i),el_Phys); } // Info lexp is localExpansionShPtr; // num_elements ~21 // In the program, I am replacing k with 2 .. 10 number Ashok.
