Using "--procs=4 --num-threads=1" might help. You do not need to change the settings in the ".ini" file; only the command line parameters determine how many MPI processes are used.

Hi Ian
I'am running on VirtualBox set whit 2 Processors and 8GB RAM
When i try with this submit command
create-submit mybbh --parfile par/BBHLowRes.par --num-threads=1 --procs=2
I get following message in .err file

i have change these setting in .ini file ppn =2 max-num-threads =2 num-threads =2

Should I simply change the .ini file in simfactory/mdb/machines with ppn = 2 max-num-threads = 2 num-threads = 2
and adding --procs = 2 on running command ?
sorry i just can not find a detail documentation on this part after i change the above setting the problem did not solved
Hi Cory,
Can you give the command line you are using to submit the simulation? You need to ensure that the number of MPI processes you use is larger. You could do this by running fewer threads per process, or if you are already running one thread per process, by increasing the number of processes by increasing the number of threads. That might mean reconfiguring the machine definition to allow more cores to be used than you actually have. What machine is it; i.e. how many processors and cores do you have?
