Hi Dumsani, Thanks for your help. I was confident that your suggestion would work, but would you believe this? ./simfactory/bin/sim build --thornlist=manifest/einsteintoolkit.th --machine=simfactory/mdb/machines/sumo.ini Error: retrieving Machine entry for Machine simfactory/mdb/machines/sumo.ini: Machine simfactory/mdb/machines/sumo.ini doesn't exist Aborting Simfactory. ls -lAh simfactory/mdb/machines/sumo.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 ian ian 1.1K Aug 20 14:27 simfactory/mdb/machines/sumo.ini So I looked in sim --help and tried: ./simfactory/bin/sim build --thornlist=manifest/einsteintoolkit.th --mdb=simfactory/mdb/machines/sumo.ini and that seemed to work, and ./simfactory/bin/sim submit static_tov --parfile=par/static_tov_small.par --walltime=8:0:0 started a process, but on one CPU as before. So I then tried: ./simfactory/bin/sim submit static_tov --machine=sumo --parfile=par/static_tov_small.par --ppn=2 --procs=2 --walltime=8:0:0 Error: retrieving Machine entry for Machine sumo: Machine sumo doesn't exist Aborting Simfactory. then I tried sumo.ini, path to sumo.ini (but I specified the machine for the build so do I need to do this in the sim command as well?) and probably a few other things, but still can't get more than one core/thread to start. Phew! Any other suggestions? Cheers, Ian. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@einsteintoolkit.org http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/users
