**Specification**

- *Alias:* None

- *Arguments:* None


**Description**


This option overrides the Dakota parallel automatic configuration, forcing
the use of a dedicated master partition. In a dedicated master partition,
one processor (the "master") dynamically schedules work on the iterator
servers. This reduces the number of processors available to create servers
by 1.
