Simulation get slower using actual population from the polygon blocks #1

Closed gamalielpalomo closed 2 years ago

gamalielpalomo commented 2 years ago

If we use the actual number of people living in the polygon, the simulation gets slower.

agrignard commented 2 years ago

Isn't it simply because there is more people? More agent means more computation so a slower simulation

gamalielpalomo commented 2 years ago

Yes, that is the reason. In this case study we use the current population from the polygon in order to compute the indicators. In other tables, do you use the whole population or just a sample?

Is this issue resolved? if not can you provide more context?

gamalielpalomo commented 2 years ago

previously we needed to run many "people" agents since these were the ones that calculated the mobility accessibility indicator, however that made the simulation slow. It was decided to calculate the indicator based on space (not on people), which makes it possible to reduce the number of "people" agents.

ok great so let's close this issue too?
