Hi,

I have a nested loop that I'm using foreach, DoSNOW, and a SNOW socket cluster to solve for. How should I go about profiling the code to make sure I'm not doing something grossly inefficient.

Also is there anyway to measure the data flows going between the master and nodes in a Snow cluster?

Thanks,

James
