is it ready for installation and testing??

[nikosT]

Not yet. However, If no further delays occurred, it will be released in mid-August. I suggest to you to subscribe to the repo in order to be notified about the release.

Hi, I have a question regarding running Gisola.
This version is optimized for multicore machines if I am correct?
Would it work on a midrange conventional PC as well?
I suppose it would just take a bit more time for MT calculation, as apposed to running on a compute cluster?
Thanks.

Hi @Donavin97 ,
Exactly as you said, apart from that the program currently supports single node (1 PC/server) with multicore/manycore capabilities. The configuration is also adjustable, so you can have a dense grid, thus more computations or a sparse one for less computations.

Thanks @nikosT. Now everything makes sence.
I am already preparing a test dataset covering light to moderate earthquakes in Southern Africa to test Gisola with, once it's released.
Keep up the good work, and once again thanks for sharing such a useful project with us.

@Donavin97 and all, as you probably already saw the first release of Gisola just came out!

Thanks @nikosT for this awesome project. It already installed and running on my system. I have computed 3 mt solutions in realtime so far. May I fork the repository and add a few things to it?

[nikosT]

Sure @Donavin97 , you don't need to ask for it!
You could also create a Pull Request (PR) to Gisola, if you think that it could enhance the software with more features.
