[maker-devel] question about Maker-MPI

[Xabier Vázquez-Campos]

Hi Carson,
We finally got Maker working with MPI (mpich, openmpi was a dead end...)
and I have a question about how Maker distributes the computation load.
I know, correct me if I'm wrong, that with MPI, Maker runs blast in
parallel (1 instance per thread) for protein2genome and est2genome. This
indeed improves enormously the speed for the initial run.
But, does it take advance of this at the time of running the gene
predictors? I think there is no benefit on multiple cpus in non-MPI mode
but I have no idea in MPI.
Thank you in advance,
Xabi
