When it comes to speeding up model analysis, Multicore Analysis (MCA) is a game-changer. By distributing your model workload across multiple instances of ExtendSim, you can significantly enhance performance and efficiency. Here’s how you can make the most of it.
Why Use Multicore Analysis?
Think of MCA as having multiple hands working on a task simultaneously. Instead of running a model or models sequentially to test different scenarios, you can run multiple instances of the model/s in parallel. This not only saves time, but also allows for more comprehensive analysis.
Running Copies of a Model in Parallel
Instead of sequentially running one model to test various scenarios, use MCA to spawn Child-Nodes (new instances) of ExtendSim. These Child-Nodes can perform parallel model execution, drastically reducing the time needed for analysis.
Open Additional Instances for Development
The Multicore Analysis feature also allows you to manually launch multiple instances of ExtendSim, enabling the concurrent running of multiple models. Manually opening additional instances of ExtendSim can simplify model debugging. You can run different models on separate cores, making it easier to identify and fix issues without slowing down your workflow.
Benefits of Multicore Analysis
- Speed: Running models in parallel significantly cuts down the time required for analysis.
- Efficiency: It allows for handling larger and more complex simulations that would be impractical to run sequentially.
- Scalability: As your simulation needs grow, the ability to run models concurrently on more than the default 4 instances of ExtendSim is available. For details and pricing, visit ExtendSim.com.
Conclusion
Multicore Analysis is a powerful tool for anyone looking to enhance their simulation capabilities. By distributing workloads across multiple instances of ExtendSim, you can achieve faster, more efficient, and scalable model analysis. Whether you’re running multiple instances for parallel execution or simplifying debugging, MCA can make a significant difference in your workflow.
