We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

DMP calculation is generally faster for the numerical calculations and is the default recommendation. 
A drawback to DMP can be the amount of time it takes to merge result files. This result file
merge time is often small compated to calculation time of large modes that may take hours or days to solve.  
This is why it is important to have fast disk systems, usually SSDs or HPC file systems.
