[Gate-users] Running Gate an a MacPro

[Lukas Gromann]

Hi,

I usually start multiple instances of the same script/macro with different starting seeds via the alias feature.

This works best if you make a small batch script, containing a "for i=x" loop, and then using the variable i as an alias to the Output files and the random seed. I usually start one instance of Gate for every core of my CPU and afterwards I simply add all the generated images ( I use the fluence actor to generate my output)

Hope this may help you,

Lukas
