Hi,

Lately I was wondering if it is possible to modify JLPKangaroo_OW_OT to write DP's on SSD M.2 NVMe instead of RAM? Do You have some experience or theoretical knowledge about such an issue?

I know that RAM is something different than SSD, but concerning that main task in Kangaroo is to caclucate points, find DP's and search for colision, is there a chance to store DP's on NVMe SSD without losing performance?

Best Regards
Damian
Yes and no.

Yes, You can modify the code to go to output files.

If you use a low DP, yes it will lose speed/performance.

If you use a high DP, no it will not lose speed/performance.

The OG of GPU Kangaroo programs, uses this method, printing points and distances to files and then checks for collisions every x amount of seconds.
