Version 1.2.0
Version 1.2.0 -- September 22, 2020
Enhancements
-
The post-processing report in the output report file
of ParaDRAM simulation has been significantly improved:- The parallel simulation summary now also provides the
predicted strong-scaling speedup behavior of the parallel
ParaDRAM simulations in "single chain" parallelism mode.
This can help make wiser decisions regarding the the number
of processors for similar parallel simulations in the future.
- The parallel simulation summary now also provides the
-
The ParaDRAM restart output file in ASCII mode now contains all
proposal updates, including the first user-specified proposal specs. -
All parallel simulations now avoid the unnecessary creation of
temporary files by all processors for System and OS operations.
This is particularly important for large-scale parallel simulations.
As a side effect, this will also potentially improve the runtime
performances of the simulation. -
Major enhancements has been made to the parallel simulation
performance analysis reported in the post-processing section
of the ParaDRAM simulation output_report.txt
files. -
The ParaMonte C/C++ build processes are now separate from each other.
