Because of issues we were having with XF when running at the command line, we've shifted to running through a Pitzer VDI (see here: https://ondemand.osc.edu/pun/sys/dashboard/batch_connect/sys/bc_desktop/vdi/session_contexts/new).

The VDI will give you a mirror of a desktop running on OSC's side, so things like XF will run much faster. You can open a terminal by clicking the black box at the bottom of the screen and then run the loop like normal (./Asym_XF_Loop.sh). This has the added benefit of making it possible to exit out of your browser, close your laptop, or turn off your computer without interrupting the run, since the process is running on OSC's side rather than piping to your computer.
