Dear Raymond,

The existing scripts always allowed running MERT in parallel jobs on SGE, one 
just had to use generic/moses-parallel as the "moses executable".

Is there some other functionality that your modifications now bring?

Btw, in my experience, parallelization into SGE jobs can be even less efficient 
than single-job-multi-threaded execution. It is hard to exactly describe the 
circumstances, but in general if your models are big and loaded from NFS, and 
you run many experiments at the same time, the slowdown of the network 
multiplied by the many SGE jobs makes the parallelization much more wasteful 
and sometimes slower (in wallclock time).

Cheers, Ondrej.
