I thought I would revise this two year old question Running OpenStudio PAT simulations on other local machine as I think it may be possible now: when I view the server that's launched on my primary machine it points to http://localhost:8081/
. I guess it isn't a stretch to think I could launch a server on a secondary machine on my LAN network, and I could just use the "Run on Cloud" and point to the address, something like 192.168.1.10:8081
or something.
So, can I dispatch PAT runs to a server on another LAN machine?
Better, can I pool resources between machines, so that if I have many design alternatives, a specified number of alternatives could be run on each machine at the same time?
