<p>The options to simfactory reflect usage on older hardware. We used to be more concerned with how many cores we wanted to use and how many to allocate to each process. Now we are often more concerned with how many gpus we want. It would be much more convenient to say something like:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><code> ./simfactory/bin/sim create-run --gpus=4 --queue=gpu2 ...
</code></pre></div>
<p>Than to figure out that nodes in the gpu2 queue we have 64 cores and 2 gpus per node, and thus the way to invoke simfactory is as follows:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><code> ./simfactory/bin/sim create-run --procs=128 --num-threads=32 ...
</code></pre></div>
