Hi All, Does anyone have any experience of distributing GCG applications (e.g. pileup and srsupdate) using Sun's GridEngine? After a trawl through the web it seems that some GCG applications FrameSearch, BLAST, FASTA, FASTAX, FASTX, TFASTA, TFASTX and SSearch) are threaded and can take advantage of a multi-processor architecture. I am more interested in distributing cpu-intensive jobs like pileup and srsupdate that are not threaded. For pileup I suppose the way to go is to split up the input file and kick off a number of jobs on different servers using GridEnginec - does anyone have any comments? As for srsupdate, I'm not sure how to procede, but its pig slow and I am sure there must be a way to speed it up with distribution.
