Thanks Nina and Andrew, I may have the capability to run a simulator large scale on many nodes on AWS/GCE, but am looking to optimize the ROI by selecting categories of experiments that benefit from a more controlled environment, rather than be invalidated by its divergence/s from livenet. But wondering if anyone else has already been doing this, would be nice to collaborate.
