Mesh preparation (<code>blockMesh</code>) may be fast enough to be done at the command line (see [[Running jobs]]). The solver (<code>icoFoam</code> and others) is usually the most expensive step and should always be submitted as a Slurm job except in very small test cases or tutorials. | Mesh preparation (<code>blockMesh</code>) may be fast enough to be done at the command line (see [[Running jobs]]).

OpenFOAM can emit a lot of debugging information in very frequent small writes (e.g. hundreds per second). This may lead to poor performance on our network file systems. If you are in stable production and don't need the debug output, you can reduce or disable it with: | OpenFOAM can emit a lot of debugging information in very frequent small writes (e.g. hundreds per second).
