Thanks for the great comment. You should write all this up somewhere, it sounds like a lot of hard-earned wisdom!

Thanks for the comment, I really should and I will try to do it sometime before it all falls out of my head any further. I miss doing it, I've just been burned out on trying to unsnarl legacy outsourced Java code for the past 2 years. Like I said, I was actually really jazzed about trying to implement another model in GPU. This model basically consumed zero SRAM, I think I could easily extend it to a fine-grained temporal model like EpiSimdemic, and I had a neat model in mind. I even documented the idea on my IP agreement on my current job, I just got burned out by not being able to get a disease model for validation and having to do actual work. Especially Java. Also, I just wanted to chime in here with a compliment for past-me. I tried to comment throughout, and I made a big push to document everything before I handed it off. I've spent the past couple hours looking back through that code, and even though I haven't touched a lick of C code in almost 2.5 years and between the README.md and the comments I feel like I am doing pretty good comprehending past-me's code. Document your fucking code, people. Future-you will thank you. Especially if it's C. (AFAIK the handoff never actually happened though, my advisor just had a baby, and this is now officially dead code, so if you want to do a thing, by all means go for it!) If anyone else has questions, by all means chime in on my gigapost, I'll try to answer.

  This is excellent. You should put your contact details in your profile. We do disease (and other) predictive modeling and I'm looking for people interested in the field... Edit: my contact details are in my profile. My group funds and does engineering for work like https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.08283 https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.08283
