Using MPI run the files with the same extension name

  Currently, I am using the following command: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft MPIBinmpiexec.exe" -n 24 "C:Program FilesLumericalv212infdtd-engine-msmpi.exe" -t 1” “file path”, but it can only run one .fsp file at one time. I want to add more .fsp at the same time. What should I add in the command line?

  Could I also specify the number of processors and the number of threads? In the discussion, it only says how to specify the number of processors, but the number of threads is always 1 by default.

  When running with MPI you only need to specify the processes - which runs each MPI process on 1 thread or logical core on your machine. So -n 6 will run on 6 logical cores/threads on your machine.

  Could I simulate my fsp file associate with my script file on the terminal?

  Running scripts will require the CAD/GUI and a GUI license.
  On Linux/terminal, running script.lsf files will require a graphical/GUI access like VNC or Xforwarding. Then run the script.lsf from the CAD/GUI. Otherwise, you can run from the terminal with a graphical/GUI connection as:
  /opt/lumerical/v221/bin/fdtd-solutions -nw -trust-script -run
  Otherwise, without a GUI/graphical connection, you can only run the simulation(.fsp) files from terminal.
