To create scripts for the i7 nodes use the syntax: xb

xb_write_sh_scripts('localpath', 'runpath', 'binary','XBeach_binarypath', 'mpitype', 'openmpi', 'nodes', nr_of_nodes, 'name', 'runname', 'queuetype', 'normal-i7'). |

When choosing the normal-i7 queue, the job is split into 4 separate processes per node (so if you select 2 nodes, the job will be split up into 8 processes, in order to use all the cores on every node). Currently, this only works for 'openmpi' and not for 'mpich2'.
...
To submit the job to the cluster, use putty, go to the folder containing the shell scripts. Submit the job by using the command: qsub -q normal-i7 xbeach.sh
By adding

\-q normal-i7 |
, the job is sent to the normal-i7 queue instead of the default queue (which is named 'normal'). xbeach.sh in turn automatically submits mpi.sh to the 'normal-i7' queue. Usage of all nodes can be viewed at the H4 cluster staus page. If all went well, the nodes that your xbeach simulation runs on have a load greater than 1 (actual load > maximum load of 1 core, so multiple cores are in use).
