17 | 28 |
|
18 | | - - as *DIRECT RUN* in the dedicated cloud resources (currently limited to 15 cores machine in the C3 PLGRID Cloud) |
| 29 | + - as *DIRECT RUN* in the dedicated cloud resources (currently limited to 15 cores machine in the C3 PLGrid Cloud) |
19 | 30 | - as *BATCH RUN* in the HPC resources (by submitting the job to the SLURM batch management system in Ares supercomputer) |
20 | 31 |
|
21 | | - The direct run may have much shorter time to start the simulation, but the parallelism is limited to 15 cores. The batch run may take longer to start the simulation, but the parallelism is limited only by the resources available in the HPC cluster. |

| 38 | +number of tasks, and overwrite the number of primary particles (the default is specified under SETTINGS in Editor page). |
31 | 39 |
