Have you consider re-designing the overall study to perform parallel dynamic runs by assigning an 'equal' number of full dynamic runs to each available CPUs. For large networks, hundred of runs are required to assess the system reliability. These runs need the same type of PSSe activities, but testing different faults (dynamic event). In a multiple-cpu pc, several PSSe instances can run in separate folders (to avoid run conflicts) and each running an equal number of dynamic events. For example, in a 4-cpu pc, each PSSe instance could run 250 events 'in parallel' for a grand total of 1000 simulations.
For a large amount of system studies, it is good to set up the 'parallel' runs for overnight or weekend processing.
