[EnergyPlus_Support] Parametric run threading

[x z <xs.zhang.2010@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Group,

 

I am trying to do 10,000+ parametric runs using VBA for my E+ model.

 

My old approach is to create 10,000+ runs idf input files and create a group file using VBA. And then manually do the group runs by selecting the number of theads and other parameters.

 

I realize that this is not a good approach that it requires to physically store those 10,000 idf file on hard drive and use too much storage space.

 

I wonder where I can find example to do automatically threading by using VBA or any other languages (say, create a thread whenever a previous thread has finished to maintain the total number of active thread constant in a conputer). How can we choose the number of thread to fit my computational hardware configuration (e.g. # of cores) so as to optimize the speed?

 

Thanks

 

Xiaosong
