HiCLAS1 HCTM benefits

HiCLAS1 HiPERiSM Consulting, LLC, Linking with AS1MET Services

	Usable with any executable model (or combination of models) and associated data
	A task queue is defined by an input file (hctm.in)
	As each task completes a new one is automatically selected from the queue
	Task processing continues until the task queue is empty
	The number of concurrently executing tasks is user-selectable to match the number of cores available
	A maximum of 8 concurrent tasks is allowed for a single-user license
	Multi-user licenses allow for scaling to any number of cores using multiple invocations of HCTM

	Separate tasks define each model run (to a maximum of 999 tasks in a single queue).
	Tasks from the input queue are farmed out to the number of threads chosen in the input file
	Tasks are automatically executed concurrently by the thread team
	Each thread in the team produces a log file showing which tasks it selected
	A default output file shows information on task queue processing and the order of task initiation
	Three test data sets included in the release package demonstrate usage and load balancing issues with two models (including the U.S. EPA's preferred model release of AERMOD)
