Stuck at the last job of Pythia8 on cluster

Hi,

I do not see why one job will take much longer than the other but we are not pythia8 expert (even if we implemented the running of py8 in parralel).

However this does not seem to be a log from a cluster mode, it seems that you are in a multi-core mode.
If you do squeue
Do you see madgraph submitting jobs on the cluster?

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier:
     Yes, I just submit the whole procedure as a job in the slurm cluster, but the MG is till running with multi-core mode. I required the whole node, so I though the MG will occupy all the cores on the node. Is this a good practice? As if the MG need to submit the job to cluster, it may be waiting in the queue as we have limited resources and too many jobs on the cluster. Thanks!

At the same time, you will require less ressource (one core per job and not one full machine) so this will be easier to be allocated and you will not waste that much ressource (so that help to decrease the pressure on the cluster).
So the final answer does depend of your cluster and of the type of job that typically runs of those.

Cheers,

Olivier
