Hi Mahmood,
As I understand it, the GPU only does some of the calculations, a good
amount of the simulation is still on the CPU's and is CPU dependent. The
GPU utilization will change depending on which cycle of the simulation is
occurring. It would appear to me that your simulation is running fine,
however I am not an expert.
