< | WMSX is a very convenient tool for mass submission of independent jobs. Possible application: parameter scan studies. It automatically manages output retrieval issues and the limiting of the number of concurrently running jobs. For this purpose, the jobs are described with a slightly extended JDL language, which is preprocessed by WMSX. If JobType = "Interactive" is set, the file containing StdOut / StdErr is updated on the fly, so you can see what your job is actually doing. A pre-execution script helps to prepare inputs, and a post-execution script helps to process outputs of the job. |

> | WMSX is a very convenient tool for mass submission of short, e.g. of about maximum 1 day lifetime, independent jobs. Possible application: parameter scan studies with relatively short calculations. (The job lifetime is limited by the typical allowed maximal job lifetimes, assigned by the Grid sites. A limit of 3 day running time is typical, so a maximum 1 day job is fine.) WMSX automatically manages output retrieval issues and the limiting of the number of concurrently running jobs. For this purpose, the jobs are described with a slightly extended JDL language, which is preprocessed by WMSX.
