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, Doug Kojetin
