Hello,
I downloaded the OpenFAST v3.2.1 from github and compiled in Visual Studio 2017 (using release x64) and it works perfectly for my simulations.
Now, I want to utilize different cores of my PC by running the simulations in parallel using OpenMP. The steps I am following is as below:
First compile the openfast code using release_OMP, x64 in Visual Studio 2017. I have Intel oneAPI Base toolkit, HPC toolkit, DPC++/C++ compiler, Intel Fortran compiler runtime, Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 redistributable (x64). I got the FAST.Farm_x64_OMP.exe in my bin folder. Then I try to use the same input file(.fstf) as I was using without the OMP and I could not get it running. I also tried running through Intel oneAPI command prompt. The program gets called but it doesn’t start the simulation.
I am not sure what is missing but I am not successful yet in making it work. Would greatly appreciate if any suggestions.
Thank you!
Regards,
Devesh
