in reply to Parallelization of heterogenous (runs itself Fortran executables) code

It sounds like you should be using MPI, that way you could do everything /in/ Fortran. Additionally, you'll be able to manage /many/ processes across many hosts (using a machinefile definition). MPI allows for heterogenous environments to be utilized as well.

While I agree that it is neat to use Perl to manage this, you are artificially limiting yourself, especially if one day you wish to run this on a set of distinct host machines.

    The Fortran executables I use are from a colleague and commercial, and i have to use them as they are provided. But thanks for the reply anyway.

      Does this mean no source? If so, then I guess there's not much you can do.

        More or less yes. But I still can run the executable multiple times at once with different input which will have the same effect in the end.
