Private Cloud Computing (PCC) here means to use multiple computers that have the same TAS C version installed in one Local Area Network (LAN) to calculate the quantities of a project, aiming to improve the calculation speed. 

• Conditions for running PCC

1. Network Configuration - Same Network Segment；

• How to judge that the computers belong to the same network segment: meet the following two conditions

(1) The first three fields of IP addresses are the same:

① Press the Windows key and R to open the Run box, type cmd and press Enter, and then the command prompt will appear.

② In the command prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter, and then you will see the detailed IP configuration info of your computer.

③ The first three fields of the IPv4 are consistent, as shown in the figure.

(2) The computers can ping each other.

① Press the Windows key and R to open the Run box, type cmd and press Enter, and then the command prompt will appear.

② In the command prompt, type ping ***.***.***.*** and press Enter, for example, ping 192.168.115.100.

③ Return Packets: Sent = *, Received = *,  as shown in the figure.

Note: The computers need to ping each other.

2. Multiple Computers, Same Version；

   Install the same version (you can install PCC with TAS C, or install the independent PCC install package). After installation, the icon will be shown in the lower right corner of the screen.

Same version: install the same version on multiple computers - move the pointer onto the icon, the version number will appear.

Install PCC on two computers at least, and the PCC is running (you can install PCC with TAS C, or install the independent PCC install package).

3. The number of entities in a project is greater than 20,000；

• How to view the number of entities?

Select the project > right-click > select View Project Information

• Recommended Memory

  1. Host Computer: 8G or above, 16G is recommended ( for greater calculation efficiency, because the host computer needs to merge the calculation data from other computers.)
  2. Assistant Computer: 8G or above

• Install & Uninstall

  1. Install PCC with TAS C: PCC starts automatically after installation; uninstall it when uninstalling TAS C.
  2. Install independent PCC install package: PCC starts automatically after installation; uninstall it via Control Panel or Start menu.
