[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Simulation Time

["fpasserini.tn@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I read among  the â??New Features in Version 7.1.0â?? http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/energyplus_archives.cfm that

â??EnergyPlus can now use multi-core processors to speed execution of models with large geometry descriptionsâ??.

But in this discussion I read: â??E+ model only uses 1 core at a time at 100%â??

Could I use more than one core for a model?

My processor is  Intel(R) Core? i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHHz

Iâ??m using Windows 7.

Although I gave EnergyPlus a high priority, the processes are using only 12% of the CPU and only 28% of the memory.

It seems that the object ProgramControl (number of threads allowed) has no effect.

How could I use the processor in order to maximize the velocity of the simulation?

Regards
