[mesa-users] Running more than one program simultaneously

[Josiah Schwab]

Hi Sanskriti,

Jakub's suggestions are good.  They're what I do most of the time.

If many of your models are different by only a parameter or two, you
might be interested looking at the "multimass" case in star/test_suite,
which shows how MESA can consecutively run multiple stars described the
same inlist, but with a set of different masses.

Also, the initial inlist file that MESA reads doesn't strictly have to
be named "inlist".  You can specify a different one at runtime with the
MESA_INLIST environment variable.

If you are running large grids of models on a cluster, Rob wrote a nice
guide at

  http://mesastar.org/tools-utilities/mesa-on-clusters/structuring-inlists-for-running-many-mesa-models

Hope that helps,
Josiah
