How to run MCNPX in multiprocessing mode @ CCALI?

1. Installation

First you need to get an account @ CCALI with special access to pistoo (which is the parallel farm).

MCNPX 2.6F has been installed thanks to Olivier Méplan (meplan@ipno.in2p3.fr), Jean-Pierre Froberger and Jean-Pierre Engel.
The installation procedure (and the associated glitches) can be found in xxx.
Thanks to Julien Dévémy (julien.devemy@in2p3.fr) from CCALI for his help to make things work.

2.1. Basic use (for debug purposes)

>> mcnp_monopro.sh

2.2. Parallel use

>> mcnp_multipro.pl (with optimized parameters)

Below's an automated script to create and run several input files in one go (it calls mcnp_multipro.pl)
