You can run jobs in ducttape in parallel without needing to start many
instances of ducttape in parallel. Just use the jobs flag "-j" like in
Make.

Example: ducttape workflow.tape -j50

This would run up to 50 jobs in parallel, where each job is eligible
to begin running as soon as its dependencies are met.

OK, so now I'm working with some slow jobs that I really want to be
able to run in parallel. Can I do this by running multiple ducttape
instances at once, one for each realization? Or can I hack it by
generating bash files and submitting them to the scheduler directly?

Oh I missed that flag somehow. Brilliant!
