To run multiple steps simply add them to the main.csh file. Here we add a step to test “cpu2”. The second step that tests cpu2 will only run after the step that tested “cpu1” completes.

</h3>
<div class="Unindented">
A good way to run steps in parallel within a single test, especially when there are following steps, is to use the Unix Make utility. Writing Makefiles is beyond the scope of this document but here is a minimal example that will run “runsim cpu1” and “runsim cpu2” in parallel. For more information on make try “info make” at the Linux command prompt.

Since no jobs run after the cpu1 and cpu2 simulations in this test it is possible to use iterated mode.
