what does HPC do? and the relevant requirement

[afterdream85]

I am writing to check the HPC opion in the code. By checking the main.py code, I could not really see what HPC option does.

I tried to check the relevant tutorial (tutorial 10), but it is still under development.

Also, if I want to use the HPC mode, what is the requirement for the PC or server?

Thanks.

Hi, Running bifacial_radiance on an HPC is not quite as simple as selecting HPC=True in the simulation. This input option is mainly to disable file saving operations when multi-threading to avoid overwriting files when multiple cores are accessing the same input or output files. A more complete HPC example is being worked on now to demonstrate setting up runs with a Docker image in the AWS environment.
