core gene alignment timeout #576

Open snogu opened 1 year ago

snogu commented 1 year ago

Hi, First of all, love the program! Just have a question though - while running a job on time-restricted resources on a remote server the resource allocation timed out while doing PRANK alignment of one final humongous gene. Is it possible to resume this job from where it was at?

Also, a related note on this example, which ran on 10 threads. To my understanding each individual thread was at any given time tasked towards aligning a single gene. The problem with my run was that this last, huge gene, which was initiated during the second half of the job, still ran long after all the other genes were finished and the 9 remaining threads were left idle (I think?). So, would it not be better if the bigger genes were processed first, which would reduce the risk of one (or a few) alignments still running long after the rest have completed?

Cheers, Snorre
