All;

If using an IDF file with EP-Launch, there is the option to set the Number 0f Simultaneous Processes. When using OS to EnergyPlus, how is this value set/determined? Are the last settings from EP-launch used or are these overwritten in some fashion? Does anyone know where EP-launch saves this setting [some ini or cfg file location]?

The reason behind the question is that I am working on a very large CBECCcom file, which uses OS and EnergyPlus as part of its make up - and the simulation times are measured in days. This is not conducive to runs to test energy efficiency options or addressing warning/errors in the model. We experimenting with online cloud computing options [ie: AWS] and want to be able to 'unlock' the software to use the computing resource available. Any guidance on how best to configure and control something of this nature is greatly appreciated.
