It is forbidden to  run only one cpu on the cluster A in my inisititute.

For next time, if you want to compare hardware like this, either use the

For all the jobs (except the one on my local computer) , I set
walltime=1hour,  and nsteps= 200,000,dt=0.001.
The running time are taken from the end of the .log file. See the following
example.

                   NODE (s)   Real (s)      (%)
       Time:   1581.000   1581.000    100.0
                       26:21
                      (Mnbf/s)   (GFlops)   (ns/day)  (hour/ns)
Performance:     56.376      4.515     10.930      2.196
