OUTPUT<br />

DISCUSSION<br />

This module sets up the input files and top-level output directory for the first pipeline in the<br />

flow. Subsequent pipelines that have been inserted into the flow will use the output from the<br />

previous one (i.e. if you have inserted Mosaic and APEX into your reduction flow, Mosaic<br />

will use the Initial Settings files as input, but APEX will use the modified files output by<br />

Mosaic).<br />

***NEW*** Note that with version 18.5.0 one can use multiprocessing to speed up <strong>MOPEX</strong><br />

tasks. The tasks Overlap, Mosaic, Apex (Multi) and Apex User List (Multi) now allow<br />

multiprocessing of some steps. In the GUI, this is set in Initia l Setup, Multi-Processing Mode.<br />

The options are "on", "off", and "manual". The default is "on" -- this grabs 3/4 of the available<br />

processors. Setting "manual" lets the user set the number of processors used. You should see<br />

speed-ups of at least 2x.<br />

If using command-line, add these lines at the top of your namelist:<br />

do_multiprocess = on | off | manual default = off<br />

ncpu_multiprocess = 1 default = 1<br />

If "manual" is set, set ncpu_multiprocess to the number of processors to use.<br />
