change parm solve linsys threads integer 4

and the number on the end needs to match your core request.

Job submission

Make sure you have the modulefile loaded then create a batch submission script, for example:

#!/bin/bash
#$ -cwd
#$ -V
#$ -pe smp.pe 4  ## Maximum 24 cores

featmacro=wmt feat noviewer < input > output

Where input is the name of your input file and output is the name of the file you want to put the results in.

Submit the jobscript using:

qsub scriptname

where scriptname is the name of your jobscript.
