Michel, All, In a discussion with a GridSAM user who has been asking for parameter sweep functionality for some time a use case came up that I'd not thought about before and it's not clear how we could do it with the current extension. He has a use case where he wants to perform a parameter sweep using a program which takes a configuration file as the only input. The filename is always the same (lets call it input.data) and the program has no way to specify a different file name. I can't see at the moment a way to deal with this without altering the file staging elements which then places a dependency between file staging and parameter sweep - not sure if this is a good idea. I suppose it could be done by placing a wrapper around the program... again not sure if this is good. Any thoughts? steve.. Michel Drescher wrote:
Folks,
here's a write-up of the parameter sweep extension.
If possible, I'd like to have a discussion about it on the upcoming call.
Cheers, Michel
