If your ini file is not part of the simfactory checkout (i.e. we don't
know about it), you may have to edit by hand. I think simfactory
attempts to run lscpu to determine some of these parameters, but if it
is not present 1 may be the default.
If you are part of a group, it may be beneficial to have your ini file
checked in to simafactory (after it is debugged and tested) so that
other members of your group have access to it. We can help make that happen.

Hello,
I am trying to run the static_tov simulation on my university's
cluster (CRC Notre Dame
<https://docs.crc.nd.edu/new_user/quick_start.html>). However, I got
this error when acquiring 48 cores:
Error: Too many nodes specified: nodes=2 (maxnodes is 1)
I am assuming this is due to the /#Source tree management/ module in
the Cactus/simfactory/mdb/machines/<host>.ini file. In my case, the
automatic *.ini file I got has these configuration:
ppn = 24
max-num-threads = 24
num-threads = 12
nodes = 1
However, the machine I use has 24 cores for each node, and the number
of threads for each core is 1. That means if I run the simulation
using 48 cores, I need 2 nodes.
Although I didn't get 2 hosts successfully(I got only 1), I am
wondering if I have to edit the <host>.ini file after the command
./simfactory/bin/sim setup-silent by hand, for example: num-threads=1,
nodes=2? Or is there any other correct way for getting more than 1 node?
I would be appreciate it if you could give me some ideas on this problem.
Best regards,
Wei
