Thanks for your reply-
In using both processors for multiple jobs -- would executing the
"mod" command in two separate terminals efficiently use the
processors? Or do you have to use a fancy script/command to have one
job use processor one, and the other use processor two (or multiples
thereof)?
Many thanks for your help,
