Dear All,
I would like to use the Gnu Parallel inside a HPC machine (cluster) with several nodes and and a handful of core attached to each of the nodes. Up until now I have been using my local machine or a server with a multiple processor core that I can count using cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "processor" | wc and supply this number depending on the intensiveness of the work not to slowdown a server and to free up some processor cores for other users parallel --eta -jn n=is the number of processor core that I want to use. How is this expanded in a cluster with several nodes and cores. Is the same command can be used ? If I and some one else in the cluster ask the same node can this parallel be adversely affected in terms of speed. I am looking forward to hear from you. Regards, Yacob
