Large batches of Monte Carlo simulations? #18

Open dhubber opened 10 years ago

dhubber commented 10 years ago

Should we introduce a simple facility (either in the C++ code or perhaps in the python) to run large batch jobs of simulations where the initial conditions are controlled by some random number generator (i.e. a Monte Carlo simulation). Can be useful for smaller simulations (particularly N-body) where a large parameter space needs to be explored with good statistics.

And if so, we would also need some functionality in the python code to read in and analyse large batches of simulation snapshots.
