Hi Donnie,

Thanks for the note; I'll check into it. The SGE mechanism is very simple and perhaps it will be applicable to other queueing systems without modification.

For example if you queue jobs with:

queue_command_here -flags -etcetc myjob.sh

then you just give the GUI/autobuild/ligandfit the command

run_command="queue_command_here -flags -etcetc"

and then it runs the jobs as above.

All the best,
Tom T

I tried a dimer of 4000aa at 3.2A using the following script:

phenix.autobuild data=2VZ8.mtz model=${f}.pdb composite_omit_type=simple_omit

 It took hours and ended up with nothing (probably due to memory leaking).
Is there anyway to make it faster?

This is what the 'nproc' argument does - you should use as many
processors as you have available.  If you can distribute it across a
queuing system, even better.  (The GUI can set this up for you
semi-automatically if you have Sun Grid Engine, but it's possible on
the command line too - check the documentation for details.)  

Now that new versions of SGE will no longer be free thanks to Oracle's
purchase, have you considered adding support for a queueing system that
is free and open-source, such as Torque?
