    As far as I can tell, Ionut submitted the jobs with the option 
    `-R ncpus' which will tell LSF to start the particular job on many
    CPUs.  However, Ionut did not specify how many CPUs, so it defaults to
    some number, which I guess is 1-20.  You can tell that from the output
    of `bsub -l <job#>'.  
    
    Ionut, I'm not so sure that starting the job on several CPUs make
    sense.  I looked into your files `/brahms/u/aic/work/work3/run.sh' and 
    `/brahms/u/aic/work/work3/calibrate.cpp' and it doesn't seem to be a
    parallel program.  Hence, what will happen is, that the same (exact
    same) job will be executed on 1-20 hosts, each overwriting the same
    output file `calibData_run00<xxxx>_seq<x>.root'.  For the use of the
    `ncpus' resource to make sense, I think you have to use some sort of
    parallel execution environment, like PROOF or MLP, and your code must
    be written to use that environment.  Your `calibrate.cpp' does not
    look like that. 
    
    Perhaps a few words on what you're trying to do would help us out.
    
    Yours,
