INNOVUS APP OPTIONS

Parallel Processing Setup

S.No	App Option	Description	Example
1	`setMultiCpuUsage -localCpu`	Sets the maximum number of threads to use for multi-threading mode. Limits the number of threads running concurrently. If more threads are requested than available, the software issues a warning and runs with the maximum available	`setMultiCpuUsage -localCpu 4`
2	`setMultiCpuUsage -keepLicense`	Controls whether multi-CPU licenses are held for the duration of the current session. Set to false to release licenses before the session ends	`setMultiCpuUsage -keepLicense true`
3	`setDistributeHost -lsf`	Sets up distributed processing to use an LSF (Load Sharing Facility) queue. Required together with setMultiCpuUsage for Superthreading mode	`setDistributeHost -lsf -queue myQueue -resource "mem>4000 OS=RH4"`
4	`setMultiCpuUsage -licenseList`	Customizes the list of licenses to search for multi-CPU processing, restricting search to specific products from among the available choices	`setMultiCpuUsage -licenseList enccpu edsl edsxl`
5	`setDistributeHost -queue`	Sets the LSF queue name for distributed processing	`setDistributeHost -lsf -queue myQueue -resource "mem>4000 OS=RH4"`
6	`setMultiCpuUsage -licenseList`	Sets the license check-out order for multi-CPU processing. Specifies a list of license types in the preferred check-out order	`setMultiCpuUsage -licenseList {vdi edsl edsxl fexl}`
7	`setDistributeHost -resource`	Specifies resource requirements for distributed processing hosts (e.g., memory and OS constraints)	`setDistributeHost -lsf -queue myQueue -resource "mem>4000 OS=RH4"`
8	`setMultiCpuUsage -localCpu`	Sets the number of local CPU threads to use for multi-threading. Used here in context of optDesign -postRoute with 8 threads	`setMultiCpuUsage -localCpu 8`
9	`setMultiCpuUsage -remoteHost`	Sets the number of remote machines to use for Superthreading distributed processing	`setMultiCpuUsage -remoteHost 2 -cpuPerRemoteHost 3`
10	`setDistributeHost -local`	Sets up distributed processing to run locally. When used, memory information in report_resource -verbose will include memory consumed by both master and client processes	`setDistributeHost -local`
11	`setMultiCpuUsage -cpuPerRemoteHost`	Sets the number of processors (threads) per remote host in Superthreading mode	`setMultiCpuUsage -remoteHost 2 -cpuPerRemoteHost 3`
