TB of RAM. I think I'm going to start a GoFundMe campaign to buy one for myself :)
2- The server's cost is about $13 an hour. I get free access to supercomputer through my university and xsede.org because I earned an NSF Honorable mention last March, however, the supercomputers available through both resources are a little complicated for me to use, as opposed to the one available from amazon that has Microsoft server 2012 already installed.
3- I wanted to run 400 annual glare simulations for 400 different views.
4- I tried a to perform annual glare simulation for one view on my Dell XPS that has Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor and 16GB of system memory. The simulation took 2 hours to complete. Radiance parameter ab was set to 6.
5- I wanted to obtain the batch file for each view so I can run them on the server. So I used the fly component to run all 400 simulations and closed the cmd windows, that wasn't bad ( for me at least) because I asked my son to this job for me, he was just glad to help me :)
6- I created one batch file using this cmd command:
dir /s /b *.bat > runall.bat
This created a file with the path to each .bat file. I edited this file in Notepad++ to include the word "start" at the beginning of each line. This was done using the "find and replace" dialogue box.
7- I split my newly created batch file into 3 batch files, each one has about 130 file names and " start" before the file names.
8- installed radiance on my server
9- Ran the first batch file on the server, this started 130 cmd windows performing my simulations, CPU usage was anywhere between 90% to 100% and about 105 GB of RAMs were used.
10. It took about 5 hours to complete all 130 simulations, I expected to run all in 2 hours but can't complain because this would've taken about 260 hours to run on my laptop. After the simulations done I ran the second and then the third batch files ( total of about 15 hours).
11. I got 400 valid dgb files. Couldn't be happier!

ls. In the end they had something like 21 panels, although there was a control gap between the panels so they didn't have to touch edge to edge.
The pseudo-code for grouping panels into n groups is:
1. Randomly choose n panels, these will be the representative of each group.
2. For the rest of the panels, assign them to the group where the representative most closely matches the panel (this algorithm can be tricky, but something like difference between points sometimes works)
3. For each group find the most representative panel (the average panel of that group)
4. Go back to 2 and repeat until the representative of the groups is no longer changing.
It is certainly a practical way to make families of panels after the surface has been panelised. I have not seen anyone do it while relaxation is happening, but if there is one person to make it happen, Daniel Piker is it!

What I currently have are a list of branches much like the ones above and a number of branch item lengths from pre-merged branches. With these lengths I have tried both using this data with the original path numbers to compare branches and decomposing the list of paths I want to cull into numbers to check though as the screen capture shows neither work as required.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

idually and by group
3) Clean up functions to discard failed results
4) Use generated images using windows directories to delete designs (so you can bring one next to each other and discard similar ones)
5) Hide irrelevant parameters
6) View generated images in zoom
7) Individually set limits on filter parameters (using sliders)
8) Reload CAD file without having to close and open genoform
9) Much smaller UI (we want to allow the screen for design work, so the functionalities have been made into pop-ups).
10) Navigate in view to a desired design (by number)
11) Any other features our users want ? (let us know)
We hope that this version is much more easier to use and allows designers to manage what they wish to generate section by section or layer by layer.…
offers new design methods helping participants both in concept and practice. Active discussions on the contemporary issues of architecture and design will be held in order to provide participants with an opportunity to share their views and create their own project.The workshop is going to be used as a platform utilising multi-layered techniques and production processes which can control intelligent geometries, calibration of parts and behavioral taxonomies, normalizing an innovative field of predictability. Exploring material intelligence, formal logic efficiencies and precision assemblies.DETAILS///In the DYNAMIC MUTATIONS workshop we will emerge into Maya’s polygon modeling, pattern makingand animationtools, adaptive skin and kinetic structures, covering all the required basis and getting a taste of its more advanced features. We are going to simulate material properties and dynamic forces with Maya physics engine. Moreover, the design logic and generative processes, as well as the potential of parametric thinking as a resourceful tool for achieving diversity and complexity in generation and fabrication. Kinesis and morphosis will be the two keys of the workshop. The participants’ end result must present both characteristics of these aspects.The goal is creating a project that each participant can proudly include in his portfolio using the state of the art programs and techniques.For attending the workshop there is no previous software experience required.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN///- Introduction in Mayapolygons and NURBS modeling- Simulation of material properties and dynamic forces with Maya physics engine- Animation tools and Maya skeleton system to control complex morphologies - Visualization and rendering techniques - Maya MEL script for creating customized tools and interface- Introduction in Rhino 3D- Parametric surface articulation with Grasshopper - Strategies for 3D printing - Lecture on project presentationTUTORS///PavlinaVardoulaki / Greece & Bulgaria / AA School of Architecture, LondonJiteshJidhav / India / AA School of Architecture,LondonAPPLICATION///http://designmorphine.com/…

ay be other issues with your geometry, but this is usually the issue people run into.)
Rays will lose energy much more slowly when a room is very reflective, but such conditions only really exist with polished painted concrete. I don't know how many such rooms you've ever been in. I can count them on one hand - and I've been to acoustic reverberation chambers on 3 continents.
Pachyderm works with a ray decimation algorithm. This means that a ray will be traced out to the cutoff time, unless it has lost enough energy that its further contribution to the impulse response is negligible. At this time, the ray is discontinued. So, the more absorption in the room, the less time it will take to run the simulation. So, more realistic absorption coefficients will allow a model to run in a more reasonable amount of time.
Gypsum board/Plasterboard will typically be between 8 and 11 percent at mid and high frequencies, and higher at low frequencies, for example. Concrete, unless polished and painted, is still a little porous, so you can probably make it 3 to 5 percent.
Regarding sources and receivers, adding more receivers adds almost nothing to calculation time (until the every end, when it extrapolates a pressure response, anyway). This is because the receivers are entered into a spatial partition system, which allows it to be done in an optimized way. Adding multiple sources will effectively multiply the calculation time by the number of sources, because the simulation needs to be repeated for each source individually.
Hopefully this helps you figure out how to run simulations with reasonable run times.

h 11 returns two values, and the lists with 10 and 6 return one. In any case, I changed the logic a bit.
Check it out in the other vb component. The idea is just to check if the list is odd or even first with the Mod operator. If the lsit is odd, return the middle item in the list as you have set it up. If the list is even, return the mid items also in the same way as you have set it up. I am attaching the edited .gh file, a Class1.cs file which shows in C# how I set up the component (translated vb code will follow), and the .gha I built from it.
The logic should be a bit easier to follow in this version. Check out the edited vb component in the definition for a 'translated version.'
Apologies for the C# ness...I currently do not have Visual Studio Express installed, just Visual C# express. This one is converting just fine to:
Dim list As New List(Of Object)()Dim out_v As New List(Of Object)()Dim out_i As New List(Of Integer)()If Not DA.GetDataList(0, list) Then ReturnEnd IfDim val As Object = list(Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(Convert.ToDouble(list.Count / 2))))Dim i As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(Convert.ToDouble(list.Count / 2)))If (list.Count Mod 2) Then out_v.Add(val) out_i.Add(i)Else out_v.Add(val) out_i.Add(i) out_v.Add(list(i + 1)) out_i.Add(i + 1)End IfDA.SetDataList(0, out_v)DA.SetDataList(1, out_i)…
