store skims as scaled ints to decrease RAM needs?

Open bstabler opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

@stefancoe - can we scale skims (e.g. multiply each one by 100) so that they can be stored in memory as integer instead of float, like DaySim does? This would decrease RAM needs. (see also #221)

not only is this a great idea in terms of memory but it also is a great idea in terms of final outputs, helping to reduce false precision of travel model outputs
