If so you should turn it off. e.g. /gate/actor/doseSliceTwoDimXZ/saveEveryNSeconds 60 Would cause Gate to save the date every 60 seconds.

I installed GATE v6.1 on the cluster and all my simulations are running on 70 computing nodes with 8 CPUs. The output files of the simulation are root files with single, coincidence and finalCoincidence trees. My jobs on the cluster cause a very high load on the fileserver during GATE simulation. I attached a PNG-Image of the cluster's In/Output evaluation of some of my jobs. Did anyone of GATE users or developer face such problem before or this issue at least is familiar by someone. I would be thankful if someone can share with me his experience in order to solve this issue <PRE> -- Bassim Aklan, MSc.
