[TRNSYS-users] Quicker processing speeds?

[Charron, Rémi]

Hello,
I am currently running TRNSYS with using a computer with a 3.2 GHz prcoessor with 512 MB of RAM.  It takes approximately 100 seconds to run a simulation.  This is a reasonable amount of time, except that I am running TRNSYS with an optimisation program and am requiring to perform thousands of TRNSYS simulations per run.  I am thinking of getting a quicker computer or workstation to help speed TRNSYS up.  Has anyone had experience running TRNSYS using duel core processors or other high performance computers or workstations?  If so, what have been your experiences?  Can the computation time be significantly reduced with the use of a more powerful computer?

Thanks,
