[CIG-SHORT] Fault Output

[Brad Aagaard]

Bobby,

To run in parallel with 2 processes (you can try this on your laptop 
too) all you do is run with --nodes=2.

For more info on running on a cluster, see the "Configuration on a 
Cluster" in the "Installation and Getting Help" chapter of the manual. 
Also see the PyLith Wiki 
(http://www.geodynamics.org/cig/community/workinggroups/short/workarea/pylith-wiki) 
for additional tips.
