It's technically possible to enable those algorithms to run on local computing resources, but such problems are generally too large to be accommodated on the same computer. There was a design decision* made to restrict algorithms to only run on AWS or other machines that have been provisioned with OpenStudio server. The team may re-evaluate that in the future based on feedback.

  • The local instance of OS Server provisioned when PAT starts up is lighter weight and doesn't include R and all of the same support code that is installed on remote servers.

It's technically possible to enable those algorithms to run on local computing resources, but such problems are generally too large to be accommodated on the same computer. (You'll quickly find that problems balloon to hundreds or thousands of datapoints with a few mouse clicks in PAT!)
