Installation:
- Installation is straight forward. Run the installer and make sure it installs in the proper program directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Lakes\AUSTAL View\Models).
- For our MULTI-CORE programs we use MS-MPI, which should be installed beforehand. The Microsoft product can be found at Microsoft MPI.
- Make sure smpd.exe, mpiexec.exe, austal*MPI*.exe and taldiaMPI.exe can access the network and are not blocked by any firewall or other software.
- Make sure that above programs can access enough resources. If you run austal2000 four times (on 4 cores), you need to have four times the RAM one process would use.
- Older Systems
- You may try an older MS-MPI. The Microsoft product can be found at "Microsoft MPI v5" or per Direct-Download.
- The above product might require "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package", which can be found at Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) (Direct-Download) and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) (Direct-Download). On 64Bit Systems the 32Bit paket has to be installed as well!
- Systems (before Windows 7) one can alternatively to MS-MPI install MPICH2. The Service smpd must be manually included into the System then (smpd.exe --install).
Note: Hyper Thread is not Multi-Core or Multi-Processor! (Intel I7 (4 core) might work with Hyper Thread and gain almost the speed of a regular 8-core processsor. This has to be verified. Patches for Meltdown and Spectre might have made this not to be useable.
