[Gate-users] job splitting takes too much time

[Martin Sower]

Hi Cassandra, thank you for your reply,

My .mac file is not too large but it is divided into many .mac files
(geometry, source, digitizer, output, etc) and linked together in a
main.mac file (mysim.mac), could that be a reason to take a long time?

I forgot to mention that I am running this on my PC (6 cores intel CPU with
8 Gb of RAM) not a cluster, and that I'm supplying the condor.script
located in Gate cluster_tools folder without any modification.

Thank you again for your time and consideration.
Martin
