Update on Progress: III

With our prototype work still in progress, the team has run into some difficulty processing the large amounts of model data. The size of the files has caused our browsers to time out and not process properly. Even with a time delay of 50 seconds, the problem still persists. Alternative methods are being looked into at the moment to counteract this setback and find a quicker method of processing our files and data.

JavaScript was going to be used to process our data originally, which is what produced the setback described. We are now experimenting with PHP to process our data first before feeding it into the JavaScript code. This has been successful thus far: it processes the data more quickly and allows for completion. Further research into other methods is still being done to find the best alternative for the prototype.

We hope to have fixed this problem completely and have our completed prototype with incorporated initial statistics by Friday December 2, 2016.
