RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Simulation Time





If you are using EP-Launch, you can increase the number of simultaneous runs (I have run 20 simultaneously):

 

In EP-Launch, click on View, Options.  Then increase the ‘Number of Simultaneous Processes’ under Command Window to a larger number.  But be warned � this may load up the computer if you select tooo many, making it difficult to do anything else.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Simulation Time

 

 

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

“EnergyPlus can now use multi-core processors to speed execution of models with large geometry descriptions”.

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

Could I use more than one core for a model?

My processor is  Intel(R) Core� i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz>

I’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
