I am currently invoking an ABAQUS (A finite element analysis package) analysis through perl using the command -
system("/usr/local/bin/tcsh -c 'source /eng/local/lib/source/use -quiet abaqus; /eng/tools/abaqus/6.3/Commands/abaqus job=$input_file'");
where $input_file has a name like 'file.inp'
This analysis takes around 1 minute to complete until which i stall the script using sleep(60).
I now wish to invoke 3 such analyses at the same time on different $input_file files.
Kindly give your suggestions.
'system' by its nature blocks. Generally this is avoidable with a fork/exec model. You may want to have a look through
perldoc perlipc
Or read through the archives for the last couple of weeks where there was some discussion of using multiple simultaneous forks...
