IBM Release 1.93 manual Randomseed, Set, Simulator

	Syntax: PRINT <"string"> <expression> ....
RANDOMSEED	Supply a seed to the pseudorandom number generator.
	Pseudorandom numbers are used only to choose starting points for
	the optimizer. The points visited by the optimizer for a given
	problem can be changed by choosing a different seed.
	Syntax: RANDOMSEED <expression>
	The value of <expression> must be in [0, 999,999,999], and its value
	is rounded to an integer before use. Thus values must round to
	different integers for them to be distinct for this purpose.
	Example: RANDOMSEED 314159265
SET	Defines a variable and sets its initial value. The expression may
	contain literals, arithmetic and logical operators, predefined
	functions, and user functions.
	Syntax: SET name = <expression>
	Example: set hypot=sqrt(a*a+b*b)
SIMULATOR	Give POEMS a simulator command line to use (no default). For
	single-host simulations, this is just the simulator executable, but for
	clusters, it should consist of a command processor, script name, and
	any additional variables expected by the cluster script. To make
	this easier, POEMS defines two special variables, as follows.
	Name	Expands To
	$h	Name of a file containing a list of all hosts actually used in
		the simulation, one host per line
	$f	Name of a file containing a list of all files that need to be
		distributed to the compute hosts for the current simulation.

POEMS constructs the command line by appending an at-sign (@) and the name of a file containing the input parameters expected by FIDO, then passes the resulting command line to the current shell. The script blocks until the simulation returns.

Syntax: SIMULATOR <filename> [ <special variable> [<special variable> ]]
