<p class="MsoNormal">All – <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have noticed that running simulations is non-linear in terms of real-world time vs simulated time. For instance, simulating 100 seconds takes longer than 100x a 1-second simulation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My guess is that this could be due to file IO and the significantly larger file sizes resulting from longer simulations. I searched through the mailing list and the source code, but I couldn’t find anything about the timing of file IO.
I’d prefer not to use the “setOutFileSizeLimit” flag if I don’t have to. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since the computer I run GATE on has plenty of RAM, is it possible to increase the time between file IO writes in order to speed up the overall simulation?
