[maker-devel] MAKER only running 1 task

[Carson Holt]

It may be frozen, or if it is on the last contig it can be running a non-paralelizable step (very last cluster merging step for each contig is not paralelizable). So on a large contig the very last step can take a little while, and if there are no other contigs, then there is no work to give to other processes to keep them busy in the meantime. So everyone has to wait so they can all exit together once the last step is done. But as I said, this will only happen if you are on the last contig and it is large. Otherwise it is probably frozen somehow (look for any errors further up the log).
