Uses cases for different simulation scales? #9

Open davidrpugh opened 7 years ago

davidrpugh commented 7 years ago

In issue #6 @KG-ethc suggested that we explicitly discuss specific use cases for different simulation scales. @EconomicSL/core-devs thoughts?

What do you mean with scales?

I believe that by "scales" @KG-ethc was referring to the size of the simulation measured in some meaningful way. Perhaps number of agents? Number of cores? Amount of memory usage? @KG-ethc can you confirm?

My understanding of the planning.pdf was that you wanted this to run on local machines and cloud instances. Simulating the state of Michigan is doable, the whole world population not so much. Of course it all depends on what you abstract away and how complex the decisions and variables are... If you want to add every tree in Michigan to the sim, you will need AWS.
