ADEXL Monte Carlo Group Jobs

Is there a way in ADEXL to group a set of monte carlo sims into several jobs without allowing all jobs to run simultaneously?

For example, say I am running 400 mc iterations. If I set Max Jobs in the Job Setup to 4 then I get 4 jobs running simultaneously with each job being 100 sequential iterations. What I want to do is group them into 8 jobs of 50 iterations and only allow 4 jobs to run at one time. So at the beginning 4 jobs would run and 4 jobs would be pending, then as one job completes that empty slot picks up a pending job from the queue. Is this possible in ADEXL?

The reason I want to do this is to be more efficient with system memory. When multiple monte carlo iterations are grouped into a single spectre run the memory usage climbs and climbs. By separating the total iterations into smaller groups each job will both use less total memory and also release the memory when it completes which frees it up for the pending jobs.

Thanks,
- Phill

    Hi Andrew,

    I am using ICADV12.2 ISR3. There are no auto-stop options being used. Screenshot of MC options included below.

    Thanks,
