Re: [PyMOL] Ray tracing on PBS queue with multiple cores?

2015-09-01 Thread Schubert, Carsten [JRDUS]
Dan,

pymol has a setting “max_threads” which (AFIK) controls the number of CPUs on a 
multicore machine used during rendering. The program tries to set these to a 
reasonable default value, but if that fails you can try to do this yourself. I 
don’t think it is possible to spread the same job over multiple CPUs when these 
are located on different boxes.

Subject: [PyMOL] Ray tracing on PBS queue with multiple cores?

Hello all:

I'm trying to ray trace some large movies and I have access to a cluster that 
uses PBS queues. However, I am having difficulty getting pymol to render with 
more than 1 CPU. Has anybody encountered this problem and found a solution?

Thanks in advance!
