I suspect that there is more than one reason.
Shortly before IBM left, they tried to get them going again by reducing the TimeStep for stuck units. This worked to some extent, but not for all. They never said what the problem was but I suspect it was caused by the original program being unable to cope with some local geography. I don't think they said what else might be the problem. I believe that Krembil have since tried the TimeStep method but not consistently. I don't believe anyone has tried anything else. The problem with the TimeStep method is that it takes proportionately longer as more calculations are needed. Mike |
