However, if you run MAKER under MPI (even on a single machine), you can parallelize all steps. Set cpu=1 when running under MPI, otherwise BLAST will multiply the -cpu value with the MPI value, and oversubscribe the CPU.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Carson</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 11, 2019, at 4:33 AM, Paul Sheridan <<a href="mailto:paul@tupac.bio" class="">paul@tupac.bio</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">Dear MAKER Team,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am running MAKER 2.31.10 on a 32 core instance with 192BG of RAM.
