[Radiance-general] Updated Radiance Installers Available

[Greg Ward]

Yes, gendaymtx is in the HEAD version, and dctimestep has been updated as well to handle its output.  It does not use GPU (or even CPU) acceleration, but it's still very fast compared to running one step at a time.  (My test runs took a couple of minutes for a typical 8760-step weather tape.)  It will even produce a series of images, though that takes longer due to the i/o requirements.

Best,
-Greg

> Hi folks,
> 
> Just a quick note to let you all know that the Radiance installers have been updated, and are available for download at the NREL OpenStudio site. These packages include the brand new 'gendaymtx' utility that greatly speeds up the annual calculation when using the daylight coefficient tools in Radiance.

> We hope to add gendaymtx into the OpenStudio tool chain and workflow in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, I'm sure Greg would appreciate any feedback from users willing to try it out on their own, especially those Windows users out there. There's a man page explaining its use, and it's pretty straightforward.
