Running for loops in parallel

[DarrenLCY]

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a way I could run for loops in slim blocks in parallel? As far as I can see, the original Eidos code does not have a for loop that allows this, such as foreach in R. Could there be a way for slimr to allow this? The model that I'm trying to run is big (likely taking ~ 30 days to run), and it seems that if I can run the for loops in the slim blocks in parallel I will be able to run things much faster.

Thanks,
Darren

Hi Darren, Not sure what you have, but there is a template function in slimR and you can do slim runs in parallel using the slim_run function.

Dear Bernd,

Thanks for your reply.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the slim_script_render() function allows parallelisation only in the case where you want to use several parameters/several replicates of the same run. In my case, I'm just running a single script for just one set of parameters, and the process I want to parallelise is the for loop within this single run.

Thanks,
Darren

Hi Darren, Not sure but maybe you can transfer the loop outside of your simulation and use the for loop index to create your template scripts. And then collect your results over your runs. But maybe your parallelisation cannot be taken outside as they are not independent from each other.
