sensitivity analysis (vensim)
Re: sensitivity analysis (vensim)
I ran the model on a super computer but since this version does not do any parallel multicore computation, the running time did not reduce. Do you have any plan for releasing that experimental version?
Re: sensitivity analysis (vensim)
We're working on it, but I'm not sure whether it'll be done by end of year. The speedup is more than noticeable if you have a many-core machine. Older workstations with 16 or more cores are now readily available at dirt cheap prices. We'll keep you posted as this evolves.

Re: sensitivity analysis (vensim)
Hi,
I did Monte carlo Simulation for a large-scale model, after many simplifications in my model I got this error (it happens at Sensitivity Simulation 1/3):
error writing results-disk may be full
I was wondering is there any solution for it or is it related to size of model?

Re: sensitivity analysis (vensim)
Any chance that the disk really is full (or would be, after writing the results)?

Re: sensitivity analysis (vensim)
Are you using 32 or 64 bit Vensim? If you do a run with only 1 sensitivity instance (if you can), how big is the file size increment over a non-sensitivity vdf file?

Re: sensitivity analysis (vensim)
Actually, I see that the error happens on sim 1. Looking at the code, the counter for writing sensitivity result blocks is an integer, which will impose a 2 gigabyte limit per simulation. Any chance you're near that?

Re: sensitivity analysis (vensim)
I am using 32 bit now. The problem occures when I increase number of iterations. I think your assumption is correct, when size of vdf reaches 2 Gb it produces that error.
Re: sensitivity analysis (vensim)
Can you increase the SAVEPER or thin out the savelist a bit? If you're getting gigabytes of output from a one or two simulations, it'll be pretty unwieldy when there are many.

Re: sensitivity analysis (vensim)
Sorry for late response. Actually, I used increased version of SAVEPER. For my case, as long as the model is huge (simulation of compiled version takes around 20 minutes) implementing Monte carlo and stochastic optimization is a big deal in Vensim.
