The recommended simplest way of running parallel analysis is to use the "MPIDataSource" pattern.  This allows you to write code as if it was running only on one processor and store small per-event information (numbers and small arrays) as well as "end of run" summary data.  This data can optionally be saved to a small HDF5 file, which can be copied, for example, to a laptop computer for analysis with any software that can read that format.  This script can be found in /reg/g/psdmsdf/group/lcls/ds/ana/tutorials/examplePython3psana1_examples/mpiDataSource.py

This script can be run in real-time while data is being taken, and will typically complete a few minutes after the run ends.  NOTE: when running in parallel, the standard python "break" statement can cause hangs.  Use the "break_after" command here to terminate data processing early.
