You will need to add the "convergence" task in the post_add list of each
interaction you want to consider, that is missing in your listing above.

csg_fmatch has a --nt option and for csg_inverse it is usually automatic,
but can overwrite the number of threads to use in the settings file.
Additional you can tell Votca to run lammps with a specific command.

For srun submission you need to allocate the resources, but then run
csg_inverse serially and then override the number of threads in the XML
settings file and use a special lammps command.
