Updated on 12 Jul 2022
Queuing system 2.6 is now availableDescription
This tool is to help users to manage the launch of simulations for PAM-STAMP, PAM-FORM and multistage .pc files with a queue in Windows from versions 2019.0Info
Changes vs version 2.5
1/ Bug-fixes
- Empty “queuestart.txt” does not cause a crash
- Empty file is created when “esi_queue_from_gui.bat” has been executed manually
2/ Developments :
- Directory for the batch-file to start the job from the PAM-STAMP GUI can be customized → Configuration file has changed
- Current jobs (waiting and running) are saved
- Can be read again, when the Queuing-System was closed
Changes vs version 2.4.1
- PAM-STAMP optimizations are supported
- PAM-FORM is supported
- Multistage *.pc files are supported
- Installation is now done in “C:\Program Files\ESI Group”
- Dedicated folder is now available in Desktop “ESI Group” folder
Changes vs version 2.3
Simulations can be started from middle stages :
- *.cfg file is used to set the parameters for the simulation
- Environment variable “PS2G_BREAK_STAGE” is not used anymore
Changes vs version 2.2
1/ No limit of 16 Cores. Number of cores must be given by the user. It is now limited to 16 parallel jobs
2/ Optional arguments can be given
- In the *.cfg of the Queuing-System
- In the GUI of the Queuing-System
- Via “additional parameters” in the PAM-STAMP GUI host definition (when the job is queued from the PAM-STAMP GUI)
Installation
- Be administrator of your machine and switch off the User Account Control.
- Unzip and execute the ESI_Queuing-System_2.5_setup.exe attached

Use
- Run as administrator (right click on the shortcut for doing it)
- Custom the configuration file if needed, to adapt the paths, and others parameters (To find it: check the installation directory)
- Load a case, select the number of CPU, solver type: SMD or DMP (64Bit only), precision: SP or DP
- Add it in the queue
- Start the queue
- Follow the progress of your calculation
- Add others cases in the queue
Limitation
This tool is aimed to be used with PAM-STAMP solver 2019.0. For previous PAM-STAMP solvers versions, this is needed to use ESI Queuing System 2.1.
