Over the years, we have seen our customers’ usage of ICRPs increase dramatically. It is now quite common to run 1000s of simulation points using 100s of ICRPs. And as this usage has increased, one of the challenges that has emerged is how to debug issues with ICRPs and job distribution, which is the topic of my write-up. So, what is it that I’m trying to address? Does the following sound familiar?
User hits green button in ADE, expects simulations to run and see results.
However, no simulation is starting. Why?
Or, one or more simulations fail, or, one or more measurements fail. User wants to find out what happened?
Or, things are running, but seem to take an excessive amount of time (usually not the actual simulation time, but rather setup time or time to obtain results).
How can we debug what’s wrong?
The objective of these slides is to equip everyone with a baseline set of tools and information to be used when investigating issues in ADE. These slides can serve as a very good reference material when faced with job distribution issues in ADE. Through this and my future blogs on debugging, I’ll attempt to use the tools and recipes from the slides and apply these to real life situations.(read more)
