Before running a parallel application, one
additional step is necessary: Processor pool selection. The user can pick a subset of
processors from a larger processor pool for a given application. This is done via the %chosts
command. The %cds command can be used to verify the ready status
of all daemons.The following command starts a parallel application x:
%prun x
where x.csl is the application's configuration file. This
command will block the terminal until the application completes. This makes it possible to
serialize a number of parallel experiments via a shell scripts. Failing processor at this
point will be automatically objected at runtime.
The user can monitor and control the running applications by the following command:
%pcheck
