[TRNSYS-users] Quicker processing speeds?

[Anton Driesse]

Hi Remi,

Perhaps you can recompile TRNSYS with some non-standard options to get more speed, e.g. skip some types of error checking, or sacrifice portability by optimizing for you specific processor, etc.  See what the compiler has to offer.

There's the "ACCELERATE" statement as well!  :)

Regards,

Anton
