Hello, I am writing a program that needs to run N simulations with N >10 000. Obviously, I cannot instantiate N threads at the same time but I cannot run the simulations sequentially either. Can anyone please advise me how to design my program using the boost threading library and concepts please?
Hi Julien, if you have an 8-core machine you could, e.g. create 8 threads and always run 8 simulations to an end. If the simulations are independent I would rather suggest that you use Boost.MPI and distribute it on a cluster. A 10000-core cluster can then allow you to run all 10000 simulations simultaneously. We are routinely doing that with several thousand simulations. Matthias
