In summary, setting nps to 50000000 and using 35 threads may result in a more stable and efficient process.

when I set nps=100000000 and 35 threads , there is a problem that cpu are always 100% but the process of mcnp stays at 20000000 ; But if I set nps=50000000 and 35 threads , there will be normal.

Anyone knows why?

This could be due to the fact that the system is not able to handle the load of 100000000 nps with 35 threads. It is possible that your system does not have enough resources (such as memory, disk space, etc) to properly handle this amount of data. Additionally, some systems may also have limits on how many threads can be used at once, so increasing the number of threads may be causing too much strain on the system. It is best to experiment with different values for nps and threads to determine what works best for your system.
