Confusion about the results obtained by specifying parameters for Laghos.

[Wondertolie666]

When I specified the number of cores, I found that the more cores I specified, the longer the program ran and the worse the results. What is the reason for this. For example, when my - np is 1, the time for each item(CG, Force..) is the shortest and the rate is the highest. At - np 64, the results were actually very poor.
Or rather, can the program reflect the performance of the processor and what specific indicators are used to reflect it.

Hi @Wondertolie666,

This has not been the case in our tests of Laghos or any of the parallel MFEM examples. You should check your hardware configuration.
