Problem facing while doing 2000 iterations in mcmc #270
Description
I am doing calaculations using Cr-Ni using ESPEI. I am using the TDB file from thermocalc and it have 120 ZPF files . It is taking more than 2 day sto complete the optimization and after optimization I am not getting proper phase diagram . How can I accelerate the process ?
One more question is that whether we can include activity data in ESPEI? Some phases are not appearing in the phase diagram after mcmc . Why ?
I will attach here my mcmc_settings.yaml.
system:
phase_models: ../phase_models.json
datasets: ../input-data

excluded_model_contributions: ['idmix', 'mag']
