You need to edit GenTable.py - it is clearly marked where you should
edit the number of GPUs to use. (I know I could use all by default)

While you are at it, take some time to study the auto increment feature.
You will have to edit the increment (10) and the cutoff point (690).

When these settings are correctly adjusted, you can leave your machine
running for weeks, and it will produce 1 table after another without any
intervention from your side, just make sure you have enough free disk
space.

As the tables are completed, you run sort2 on the output data, and you
can delete the original files, freeing up space as you go along. (You
can also use TableConvert and compress the tables to free up even more
space.)

cheers,
Frank
