Hi Jeremy,
Phenix.autobuild is set up so that you can specify the number of
processors (nproc) and the number of batches (nbatch) as you indicated in
your command. Additionally you will want to set two more parameters:
run_command ="command you use to submit a job to your system"
background=False # probably false if this is a cluster, true if this is
a multiprocessor machine
If you have a queueing system with 20 nodes, then you probably submit jobs
with something like
"qsub -someflags myjob.csh" # where someflags are whatever flags you use
(or just "qsub myjob.csh" if no flags)
Then you might use
run_command="qsub -someflags" background=False nproc=20 nbatch=20
If you have a 20-processor machine instead, then you might say
run_command=csh background=True nproc=20 nbatch=20
so that it would run your jobs with csh on your machine, and run them all
in the background (i.e., all at one time).
I hope that helps! I don't have a lot of experience actually using
phenix.autobuild on a queueing system with nproc>1. Perhaps others would
like to comment on their experiences.
