ECLIPSE Parallel
SIS Training

Allows the simulation of a single data set to be distributed across a number of processors Large simulations can be run in a shorter time Memory requirements for each processor are smaller Rule of thumb: 50k cells per processor

Pre-96A RUNSPEC Fixed Format

SIS Training

Prior to 96A ECLIPSE had a different format for RUNSPEC To convert: Load into ECLIPSE Office $edit or @edit (see manual for instructions)

RUNSPEC Special Case: Fast Restarts

SIS Training

A fast restart is a way to start simulation from any report date of a previous run A SAVE file must be requested during the first simulation run The LOAD & RESTART keywords replaces the normal RUNSPEC, GRID, EDIT, PROPS & REGIONS sections of the restart run More information about restart runs at the end of the week
