MadGraph run stops at the analysis stage.
Hi,
I am running Madgraph on a cluster system using multicore mode (just allowing it to use all 48 cores per job), and I am noticing that it will often (but not always) halt during the madanalysis stage, with no error message. I am concurrently running many separate jobs, each with their own model output folder, in order to run many parameter points at the same time (performing a scan within each model folder). They do not all fail on the first parameter combination in the scan, but can successfully output the results for some runs before failing.
I am wondering: Is this incorrect usage? Could MadAnalysis be running into issues with parallelisation? I suspect this as running twice as many jobs seemed to force it to stop earlier.
Since the time bottleneck often appears to be the MadAnalysis stage, is this stage parellised?
I realised this is many questions, and the answer to any would be very helpful,
