Public bug reported:
If I run a simple CHOLMOD C++ program, I noticed that it takes more time
running in parallel than single threaded. For the attached program file
I did
g++ -o main main.cpp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcholmod.so
time ./main
-> real 2m21,367s user 11m30,913s sys 5m11,448s
(now I force it to be single threaded)
time OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1 OMP_THREAD_LIMIT=1 ./main
-> real 0m49,684s user 0m48,922s sys 0m0,760s
Notice the huge "sys" time consumption in parallel run.
I have a 4 core / 8 thread Intel CPU running Ubuntu 18.04, everything
up-to-date.
In my research project with a more complex matrix, the slow-down is the factor
8.
Further info: It is not machine-dependent. It is also confirmed in
Debian 10 on several different machines.
