All good, figured it out, there was a clash with another version of python installed on the machine. I had to set it to "HFS" version of python

Hi,

I was trying to setup pdg to work with Hqueue. I have a top network which works with a local scheduler, however, when I try to submit it to the hqueue scheduler I get the below error. I have ensured that the machines can resolve their network names via etc/hosts and there are no firewalls on machines. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Chris, much appreciated, I'll give that a go.

Hi,

Is there a way to submit a wedge TOP to simulate across multiple machines so that each simulation is happening on a single farm machine.

For example

- I have a wedge TOP that has a wedge count of 8, the wedge is processing a FLIP simulation. The wedge is connected to a ROP geometry output

- Currently, when this simulation goes to hqueue, a single machine is processing all 8 variations of the simulation, however it would be more efficient if it were broken up across the machines as the simulations take a long time. I also see this as an issue for large scale simulations that require a lot of memory, I wouldn't want one machine processing 8 simulations at once

- My hqueue scheduler “assign to” is set to any

Is there a way to tell the ROP geometry output how many simultaneous wedges it can process, and as a result move the remaining simulations to other machines?

Cheers,
Glenn
