Running PDP++ using multiple processors



Hello again,

Thank you for your previous advice regarding running sims in batch mode. 
I am now attempting to run the distributed memory binaries on our grid,
but I am not sure how to specify some settings.

Before figuring out how to submit jobs to remote nodes using qmon, I would
just like to run the dm_bp++ and dm_leabra++ binaries on the master node
using multiple processors.  Our master node has 4 CPUs.  Right now when
run dm_bp++, "DMEM Running on 1 processors" is displayed.  How do I go
about changing changing this so it will use all 4 processors?

I have reviewed README.dmem,  and dm_qsub, but I am still not sure how to
proceed.  In README.dmem, it states that dmem works in either gui or
non-gui mode, so I am assuming that it is possible to configure the bp and
leabra binaries to run on the master node using multiple processors, but I
am not sure how to set this argument.  The examples of using the "special"
scripts  all use the -nogui flag and seem designed for submission to a
queue.  Again, any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.  I
would be happy to provide an outline of how we set up our system once we
are finished for other pdp++ users.

Thanks,
