You can run in parallel if you specify the hostname (not localhost), and you can ssh (or rsh) to the machine without a password. Also, I suspect you'll be happier if you have more than 4 (probably at least 20) cores for the PASD calculation. best regards-- Charles -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8+ <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQFJ0qkrPK2zrJwS/lYRAhB6AJ4pe/oMCXZ/nAf5icf+Q0I435VJ3wCfaw3t AgGeqtGRDmVox+9cbe8hmA0= =La7r -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
