Vensim 8 without single precision?
Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2019 12:05 pm
Greetings,
On this site https://vensim.com/september-newsletter ... -releases/ it mentions
"All configurations of Vensim now use double floating point precision for both calculations and results storage"
So does that mean as of Vensim 8, single precision is no longer available or it is possible to select it as an option?
Asking because this link https://www.vensim.com/documentation/24350.htm mentions
"For large models the double precision version of Vensim essentially takes twice the memory, so it should be used with discretion. For most business models there seems little to be gained from the added precision."
Thank you.
