Hi Stephan,

I am now trying to scale up my SRL task "for real" over 70M sentences, 
divided up into 3500 segments/tasks, each taking about 12G memory each 
and taking about 7 hours.  I am trying to use arrayrun on abel on my 
script.  However, it seems like arrayrun will only activate 100 jobs at 
a time.  This will take 10 days to run the entire job, which is slower 
than the much smaller cluster I was running it on elsewhere (where I can 
run about 300 at a time and take 14 hours, for about 7 days).  I was 
hoping to gain a signficant turnaround time for experimentation on 
abel.   Is there any way to get more on abel or is that a hard limit?

Thanks.

Yours,
--Asad.
