Batch Submission
A better approach is to submit a MrBayes task as a parallel batch submission to run across multiple nodes, an example of which is:
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH -J MrBTest #SBATCH -N 4 #SBATCH -n 100 #SBATCH -o %N-%j.log #SBATCH -e %N-%j.err #SBATCH -p compute module add openmpi/gcc/1.10.5 mrbayes/gcc/3.2.6 mpirun -mca pml cm -mca mtl psm2 mb-mpi input_nex_file.nex
The options for mpirun are required to make use of the Omni-Path interconnect. This submission script can be found at /path/to/sample/script
