[Gretl-users] Re: Question about parallel processing using the shell

Hello all,
I am using the launch command in a loop to call out to a processor
intensive estimation routine ( I am calling an exe file). My system only
has 12 processor cores, so is there a way to limit the number of
simultaneous processes to 12? Or should I just let windows handle it.
It's probably a good idea to not throw more than 12 tasks at the system
simultaneously, but if you're calling an exe via the shell, it's not
clear to me why you want to control everything from gretl (as opposed to
the shell itself).
If you want proper control from within gretl for multiprocessing,
perhaps you should look at the MPI setup (see the gretl + MPI guide
under the help menu).
cheers
