TRIM: Manage TUFLOW Simulations Across a Cluster of Computers
We're pleased to announce the latest version of TIRM (2.6.0) now allows a simulation queue to be distributed over a cluster of modelling computers and managed from a single location. This ensures optimum TUFLOW license utilisation and modelling speed. TRIM will prioritise simulations to the fastest and most appropriate computers and notify if they go offline for any reason. We have prepared a quick 5 minute video that outlines the new feature and important considerations when using it. Click here to watch the video. You can also download a free 45 day trial of an 8 simultaneous simulation version of TIRM from our website. |
TRIM can distribute models across multiple computers by utilising the Master - Grunt Server mode. This allows centralised queue management and post processing while taking advantage of multiple computers (termed Grunts) across a network. This setup requires that all TUFLOW executables and all simulation files are available on a common network file share. If using mapped drive letters, all mapping should be consistent over the TRIM computer and all Grunts. Furthermore, all Grunts require TUFLOW licenses (via network or local USB dongles). |
