Usage

Please consult ABySS documentation.

Multi-threaded and MPI

Multi-threaded processes run on a single node. MPI jobs run on multiple nodes.

To run multi-threaded ABySS, your job must request a shm "parallel environment" (PE) with the appropriate number of threads to be run. To run an MPI version, request openmpi_ib, openmpi_ib_rr, or openmpi_rankfile PE.

See the article on Writing Job Scripts.
