Abstract: qsub is a queue submission program that compiles a lists of jobs in a folder and then submits them to different instances of Stata on a desktop computer, and then compiles results if requested. The program provides a simple way to perform simulation studies, bootstrapping, multiple imputation, data level parallelisation operations and other computationally intensive tasks on a desktop PC utilising all available CPUs. It is also a useful way to debug programs before uploading them to a cluster environment.
