| 4 | 4 | Batch systems generally limit the CPU time that is allowed to be requested by a job, e.g. to a maximum of 12 hours or 24 hours. If a simulation needs more time to run, it has to be split into several parts/jobs. The first job is called the ''initial'' job, the others ''restart'' jobs. Together they form a so-called ''job chain''. Restart jobs require as input the values of all flow variables as calculated in the final time step of the previous job. They need to be output by the previous job in a so-called ''restart-file'' which is a required input file for the restart job. |
