With the powerful PCSP technology (Program Controlled Segmented Processing) CadnaA handles even large projects, like entire cities or regions, without any problems. The limit for the size of a processable file is normally defined by the capacity of the computer. With distributed calculation using several processors and/or computers even this limit is broken thanks to PCSP. Software controlled segmentation with user-defined partitioning allows to load the segments one after another automatically for calculation. The calculation effects RAM only not hard disk.
 

 
To handle such a calculation task with PCSP the total project is at first subdivided into rectangles fitting to each other and saved to a specific folder. CadnaA now loads independently one part of the project limited by one of the rectangles plus an excess length. After calculation this rectangle is saved and the next rectangle is processed.

Because CadnaA supports multithreading, parts of the project can also be calculated in parallel with several processors of a multi-core computer. PCSP automatically organizes and manages the required processes. If several computers with CadnaA licences are at disposal for calculation within a network, they can work on the same project file parallel, too. If there are not for all computers CadnaA licences available, Option CALC offers a cost-saving solution for distributed calculation in a network.
