250K Calculations Business Simulation

Hello SimDev Community!

By no stretch of the imagination is this a mini business simulation. We are in the midst of building one of our biggest business simulations yet. So far, we've past the 250K simultaneous calculations threshold. Wow! That's a lot. This solution is built in Obj-C so its Mac based only (or iPhone, but that's a bit much of the iPhone). This particular sim took us about a month to create. We're are estimating this particular business training simulation will land at around 300K calculations in total. The amazing thing is that it runs without breaking a sweat on a 3 year old laptop. This just goes to show the power of running modern business training simulations. The computing power is there no problem.

I know what you're saying, "But you guys are always talking about the advantages of smaller business training simulations for leadership development or organizational development." We know. But when a customer has specific needs, we do the big stuff too. As we've stated before: A business training simulation or leadership development simulation needs to work from the training objectives backwards. Thus, in this case, a larger business simulation was necessary. Its actually a lot of fun to write.

Have a great week!
