Because of possible time savings when conducting large number of simulations at once, it is preferable to create all the input and settings files for all the simulations beforehand and process the simulations in batches as large as possible. This article specifically deals with the data acquisition, transformation and preparation process. It also outlines initial testing and computing time estimations and discusses scheduling, parallel processing and other possible simulation optimization methods. date: 2019-03 date_type: published publication: Agris on-line Papers in Economics and Informatics volume: 11 number: 01 pagerange: 49-53 id_number: doi:10.7160/aol.2019.110105 refereed: TRUE issn: 1804-1930 official_url: https://doi.org/10.7160/aol.2019.110105 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=10.7160%2Faol.2019.110105&btnG= related_url_type: pub citation: Jarolímek, J and Pavlík, J and Kholova, J and Ronanki, S (2019) Data Pre-processing for Agricultural Simulations.
