I would appreciate it if you could help me with the above issue. The main problem I have to solve is how to call E to run for 1000 different .idfs with the same weather file and store the corresponding 1000 output files.

e.g. a very basic solution:

copy all 1000x (uniquely named) IDFs in 1x folder
use preferred scripting language (e.g. Ruby, Python)
glob all 1000x IDFs in an Array
loop through Array, with each item replacing "in.idf" below (E+ CLI call):
energyplus -w weather.epw osms/in.idf

That can take up A LOT of storage depending on output variables/frequencies. Consider (i) extracting required post-simulation results, then (ii) deleting IDF files (at each iteration).
