Most cluster queueing systems have a way to limit such things. Which one are you using?

You can also set the environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS to tell SHELXD to limit its CPU usage.  You do this with either:
setenv OMP_NUM_THREADS 10
or
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=10

on the command line before running shelxd.

Hi all,

I am wondering if there is a way to limit the number of CPUs that can be used by SHELXD. It seems that this program uses all that are available until it hits the NTRY you specified or it finds a .fin file. Is there a way to limit its CPU and MEM usage? I am running this on a large cluster along with other jobs and don't want to get myself into trouble.

Thanks so much!

Best,
Jessica
