Question: how to specify threads in asap-docker.sh? #9

When running asap-docker.sh is there a way to set the max number of threads?

oschwengers commented 4 years ago

Hi @telatin , unfortunately, right now the answer is no. So far no one has asked for this. But it should not be much of a deal to implement this. I'll put it on the list for the next release.

Thanks, that would be highly appreciated. Out of curiosity is it currently set to use 8 cores or so?

oschwengers commented 4 years ago

Yes, ASA³P is currently working with bins of 8 core per genome. In the early beginnings we saw that for many tools 8 cores per process / genome is sort of a sweatspot. Of course, there a variations and plenty of outliers, but in general we deemed it a reasonable default. Hence, in principle, ASA³P analyses 1 genome per 8 cores.
