Re: [phenixbb] refinement using a multiprocessor machine or on a cluster

Hi Gino, phenix.refine does not use any advantage of multiple available CPUs. Sorry. Pavel. On 3/4/09 11:26 AM, Gino Cingolani wrote:

Dear Phenix community,

I was wondering if it is possible to run a refinement job on multiple processor. The refinement of my 13,000 asymmetric unit takes about 2 days. It could be greatly speeded up by taking advantage of the 4 CPUs in my PC. The phenix manual suggest to use nproc=3 to run using a multiprocessor machine or on a cluster. But this applies only to LigandFit and AutoBuild Wizards. What about simple refinement?

Thanks in advance,

Gino
