change dictionary variable during run

anishtain4 · March 21, 2016, 15:29

Hi all,

I was wondering if there's anyway to change a dictionary variable during a run?
Like if I want to experiment with the number of processors in a parallel run, instead of having to change numberOfSubdomains in decomposeParDict, I could use:
decomposePar -numberOfSubdomains $NSLOTS.
I would appreciate any feedback as sometimes this makes life much easier.

Hi Mahdi,

You could create an "Allrun" script that requires an extra argument so as to use it with the application. This way you would need to call the script like this:

Code:

./Allrun 4

and the call to the application within the script would be something like

Code:

decomposePar -numberOfSubdomains $1

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Alex
