ATSAL Frequently Asked Questions

• How many analyses can I run in parallel? You can easily run 20 fits in parallel on an 8-core Mac, with only about a doubling of the time taken by 1 fit. We have tested as many as 40 simultaneous fits on an 8-core machine. The user interface bogs down, but they run to completion.
• Do I have to learn Python to use ATSAL? No. It is there if you need it, but invisible otherwise.
• In the TOS episode Tomorrow is Yesterday, what was Captain John Christopher’s serial number? 4857932.
