Thanks for your suggestions Tom, I was thinking along the lines of a Linux desktop.
I wonder if anyone out there has built or can recommend an efficient specification for running city sized simulations?

I have had good luck using a Mac laptop and Linux desktop boxes. afaict nothing in the OS gets in the way of the processor. If you use Linux you can easily kill the X server to free up resources for your batch processing, and I would think you would have more control over other resources if needed. If you are running a large number of simulations then the more memory and processors the better and you will find larger configurations for Linux or (ugh) Windows than with Macs. I’m sure others have more experience with this and should offer up suggestions also. hth - Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
