A number of complex tasks frequently challenge the computational resources in the areas of simulation modeling and estimation. Often these tasks have a distinct number of separable iterations that can be performed in parallel simultaneously and independently from each other. Earlier approaches were limited to an execution on a single machine (e.g., PARALLEL, 2013) in parallel sessions. We are developing a system, which can be run in an MS Windows network, with automatic registration and deregistration of computing nodes (each running Stata), task scheduler, and results aggregator. Multiple machine networked approach allows greater scale and ultimately higher performance.
