PDriver

The Parametric Job Driver, or PDriver, is a Driver that can execute command-line programs as a parallel processing service using the GridServer environment. This enables you to write a simple script to run a program on several Engines, and return the results to a central location.

PDriver scripts, which are written in the PDS scripting language, enable you to run the same program on Engines several times with different parameters. A script is used to define how these parameters change.

One way PDriver scripts can achieve parallelism is to iteratively change the value of variables that are passed to successive tasks as parameters. A script can step through a range of numbers and use each value as a parameter for each task that is created. Or, a variable can be defined containing a list of parameters.
