-runstyle gnuparallel only uses one core

Post by cabingman »

First, thanks for making your software available. I have few hundred homology models to make, and I want to keep pressure off of your server.

So, I've installed I-Tasser 5.1 on a CentOS Stream guest operating system configured with 8 cores in VMWare (on an OS-X host). I'm able to run the program in serial mode OK. I installed gnu parallel and it seems to have compiled OK. I'm giving the program the

-runstyle gnuparallel

command line argument, but "top" indicates it is only using one processor. There are several jobs running at 0.1 to 0.29 CPU. Is there an additional argument I should pass with gnuparallel to get it to. grab more cores? I looked at the README and didn't see anything. I thought I'd ask here in case there is something easy to do, before I start going through code.

Thanks!

Thank you! As I know, our program curreenly does not support GNU parallel. In our computer cluster, we use SLURM Workload Manager (https://slurm.schedmd.com) for parallel jobs processing.
