Available Transfer Capability : Distributed Computing

 

The Distributed Available Transfer Capability tool is available as an add-on to the base Simulator package. Contact PowerWorld Corporation for more details.

These options are all available on the Available Transfer Capability Dialog under the Distributed Computing Grouping.

Distributed Computing is available for use in distributing multiple scenario ATC simulations and multiple directions ATC simulations. In order to use distributed computing you must first configure a list of remote computers which can be utilized along with appropriate authentication information for those computers. The computer list and authentication information is common to all the distributed computing tools in Simulator and can be found in the Simulator Options Dialog, or reached with the Distributed Computing Options button. They are described in Distributed Computing Options .

The options to specify to ATC Analysis for Distributed Computing are the following:

Use Distributed Computing

Check this box to signify that when processing multiple scenario ATC simulations and multiple directions ATC simulations distributed computing should be used.

Number of Directions per Process

Select the number of directions per process when multiple directions ATC simulations distributed computing is used.
