[Grid]
This section is applicable when the grid is used for batch calculations. If you are using Grid Processing, you may override the following parameters from other INI file sections here in the [Grid] section:
CursorLocation
DisableSqlDelim
MaxDifferences
SummPymtMnthly
TestLevel
HIRTcode
HIRTdir
RegPath
For example, [Tables] RegPath= might point to your local drive, but the grid may not have access to your local drive so you may want to point to a network location instead.
GridWork=
The agent server work directory specifies where agent server work files are located (must be specified in the PROADMIN.INI file for every client that wishes to use the agent servers to help run calculations. The agent specifies this via its GRID.INI file. There is no default and agent servers are disabled if not specified.
LocalWork=
The local work directory specifies where local work files are located. It defaults to temporary directory "
MaxThreads=
If for some reason you would like to limit the number of processors that ProAdmin distributes work to, use MaxThreads (e.g., MaxThreads=2). You might want to set MaxThreads to ensure that other applications have sufficient CPU resources while ProVal is running in the background. You might also set MaxThreads if your computer has less than 1GB of memory available per processor, since the computer’s total memory will be split among the individual processors (note that 32 bit operating systems are limited to 4GB of memory, whereas 64 bit operating systems have a much higher limit).
How do I determine how many processors my computer has?
An easy way to determine the number of processors on your computer is to view the Task Manager. There are at least two ways to view the Task Manager: either press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and select Start Task Manager, or right click on the taskbar (runs across the bottom of your window) and select Start Task Manager. Once the Task Manager is started, select the Performance tab. You should see a window similar to below. The number of processors equals the number of mini-graphs under CPU Usage History. In the case below, there are 8 processors on the computer.
