Conclusions: since INIT benefits from more PROCESSORs, one could run XDS twice for fastest turnaround; the first run with JOBS=XYCORR INIT and a high number of processors (99 is maximum). The second run with JOB=COLSPOT IDXREF DEFPIX INTEGRATE CORRECT, and an optimized JOBS/PROCESSORS combination. The SNC4 mode is indeed fastest - to do better than the cache mode of the MCDRAM, one needs to adapt the forkcolspot and forkintegrate script- see [[Performance]]. | |||
