Run in your terminal to copy the code to your machine
git clone git@github.com:MRC-CSO-SPHSU/simpaths_parallel.git
Copy simpaths.jar
to simpaths_parallel
and run the following:
cd simpaths_parallel
chmod +x ./do_full_run.sh
Typical use would be
./do_full_run.sh -b 20 -p 150000 -s 2017 -e 2023 -g false
or
./do_full_run.sh --batch_size=20 --population_size=150000 --start_year=2017 --end_year=2023 --gui=false
There is an additional step to clean the ouput data and prepare it to the next stage.
Currently, SimPaths
leaves trailing commas at the end of all lines in *.csv
files which leads to an extra empty column during file reading.
To avoid this we run an extra script right after the simulation to remove aforementioned commas from the files.
This takes some extra time and relatively expensive in terms of computational resources but leads to correcly formatted data.
