Olivier, Okay the following: /afs/cern.ch/user/d/dorney/scratch0/MadGraph/template_gridpack/work/MadGraph5_v1_5_2/bjets_yay/SubProcesses/P3_gg_bbxgg/madevent does exists, the output of running it is shown in one of the attachments. When running /afs/cern.ch/user/d/dorney/scratch0/MadGraph/template_gridpack/work/MadGraph5_v1_5_2/bjets_yay/SubProcesses/P3_gg_bbxgg/ajob1 The following output exists: [lxplus418] ~/scratch0/MadGraph/template_gridpack/work/MadGraph5_v1_5_2/bjets_yay/SubProcesses/P3_gg_bbxgg $ ./ajob1 [lxplus418] ~/scratch0/MadGraph/template_gridpack/work/MadGraph5_v1_5_2/bjets_yay/SubProcesses/P3_gg_bbxgg $ So no error message occurs. How much RAM is generally required? I could try specifying nodes with only > X MB/GB. I copied the Template directory into a new directory. Using the same cards as before, but with only p p > b b~ QED @1 I started another generation with the following output: [lxplus245] ~/scratch0/MadGraph/template_gridpack/work/MadGraph5_v1_5_2/BBbar_Simple $ ./bin/generate_events testSimpleRun2_1M -f No module named madgraph.interface.extended_cmd No module named madgraph No module named madgraph ************************************************************ * * * W E L C O M E to M A D G R A P H 5 * * M A D E V E N T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 5 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * VERSION 5.1.5.2 * * * * The MadGraph Development Team - Please visit us at * * https://server06.fynu.ucl.ac.be/projects/madgraph * * * * Type 'help' for in-line help. * * * ************************************************************ load configuration from /afs/cern.ch/user/d/dorney/scratch0/MadGraph/template_gridpack/work/MadGraph5_v1_5_2/BBbar_Simple/Cards/me5_configuration.txt load configuration from /afs/cern.ch/user/d/dorney/scratch0/MadGraph/template_gridpack/work/MadGraph5_v1_5_2/input/mg5_configuration.txt load configuration from /afs/cern.ch/user/d/dorney/scratch0/MadGraph/template_gridpack/work/MadGraph5_v1_5_2/BBbar_Simple/Cards/me5_configuration.txt Using default eps viewer "gv".
