The user may also set the KMP Offset, which is the core offset for the current run. The KMP Offset relates to the number of cores already being used by the system , and is therefore usually set to zero. The KMP Offset should only be adjusted if the user wishes to run more than one model on the same machine. In order to run the second model, the KMP Offset should be set to the number of cores being used in the already running model. For example, if you are using a machine with 16 cores, 32 threads, then

This file is also used by EE to determine whether the model ran to completion or not, as it is deleted on successful model completion. If the user opens that file then they can see these this KMP offset related parameters
