decrease in CPU for Parallel processing job with time

9 次查看(过去 30 天)
I am running a longish (~6 hour) simulation using the parallel processing toolbox. The Activity Monitor on my 4-core i7 iMac shows User activity of 75% of available CPU time with a small amount of idle time (~20%) at the start, but over time, the User fraction drops to <20% and the idle time increases to >75%. Can anyone explain this slowdown please?
Thanks,
Andy

That makes sense though with only 4 cores working and 1000s of iterations left--I signal how far through the job along the way-- I would have expected a bit more attention to the task! The job did seem to take about as long as I had expected scaling up from previous, shorter runs, so your explanation makes sense.
Thank you!

The factor I refer to would typically not be relevant until more than 90 percent was done, except in cases where there were big differences in processing time.
