interactive parallel maestro on multiprocessor machine

[crkrenn]

I have a workflow that tries to run a serial code multiple times interactively on a machine with multiple CPU's.

What I hoped would happen was that the serial code would run in parallel on multiple processors.

What happens is that all of the serial run steps are run sequentially.

Can this be fixed?

Thanks!

@crkrenn -- I'm confused. Are you trying to parallelize in code.py or are you wanting Maestro to spin up multiple processes using code.py? Your study implies the former, I just wanted to get clarification. Thanks!

Hello Frank,

I’d like multiple instances of code.py to run in parallel in different directories.

Got it -- so you'd like Maestro to launch multiple processes at once rather than having local execution continue in sequential order. I'll scope something out.
