Hi Francois, I’m not an expert
on PC tuning, but I think you should mainly go for clock and memory/bus speed. Adding more memory beyond
1GB is unlikely to speed up TRNSYS a lot, and multiple cores will probably just
sit around and wait most of the time – except if you run other processes
at the same time on the same machine. (Only the graphical interface uses
threads in certain cases, the TRNSYS kernel runs in a single process and does
not create any threads as far as I know). Werner De : Francois
[mailto:francois.badinier@icax.co.uk] Hi all, I am running a simulation with TRNSYS that takes
almost 24h because of a heavy component and a small timestep. I don't want to
have to change my parameters because I need accurate results. Currently, I have got a DELL PC with an Intel Pentium
2GHz and a RAM of 1GB. I am willing to upgrade to a new computer running
maybe 3 or 4 time faster... Could somebody tell me what equipment would be worth
to buy, or even what kind of processor and memory should I consider? Thanks for some help.
