Farming in Conjunction with Parallel Computing

Large problems may require that Feko be run in parallel (simulation spread over more than one host or processor - not the same as farming.)

Example

Run the Solver in parallel, while farming out the optimisation steps using a specified number of processes. For example:
optfeko <x> -np <n_farming> --machines-file <m> --runfeko-options -np <n_parallel>
where:
<x>
File name of the model
<n_farming>
Number of farming processes
<n_parallel>
Number of parallel processes
<m>
File name of the machines file
Note: For optimisation using the Solver in parallel, but not farming:
optfeko <x> --runfeko-options -np <n_parallel> --machines-file <m>
