+We checked the new parallel platform for DYNARE performing a number of tests, using different models and computer architectures. We present here all tests performed with Windows XP/MATLAB. However, similar tests were performed successfully under Linux/Ubuntu environment.
In the Bayesian estimation of DSGE models with DYNARE, most of the computing time is devoted to the posterior parameter estimation with the Metropolis algorithm. The first and second tests are therefore focused on the parallelization of the Random Walking Metropolis Hastings algorithm (Sections \ref{s:test1}-\ref{s:test2}). In addition, further tests (Sections \ref{s:test3}-\ref{s:test4}) are devoted to test all the parallelized functions in DYNARE. Finally, we compare the two parallel implementations of the Metropolis Hastings algorithms, available in DYNARE: the Independent and the Random Walk (Section \ref{s:test5}).
