Hi Support,
I read “Phoenix_Framework_Guide” and that say, when Phoenix can run “Stepwise Cov Search” in Windows_MPI, it automatically assigns cores to each model to run based on the number of covariate relationships.
Phoenix supports both PBM and PWM and even supports a combination of the two. An example of combining PBM and PWM can be seen in a stepwise covariate search. During the first step, let’s assume there are 8 models to be run (base + 7 possible covariates). Phoenix will run all 8 models simultaneously (PBM) with each model using 20 computation cores (PWM).
But I can’t see this when I use it.
For example:
My Environment information:
- Phoenix NLME 8.4
- CPU: 32 threads
Description of the scenario I used:
Stepwise 1st Find effect to add:
- 1 Base Model + 11 covariate model =12 Model
Observed CPU state: Models are executed one by one, each model is executed by 32 cores
Expected CPU state: 12 models run simultaneously, per model run under MPI by 2 core, total of 24 cores used
Stepwise 2ed Find effect to add:
- 10 covariates model
Observed CPU state: Models are executed one by one, each model is executed by 32 cores
Expected CPU state: 10 models run simultaneously, per model run under MPI by 3(or 2) core, total of 30(or 20) cores used

Did I set something wrong?
Could you help me?
