CPU utilization of Prokka

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Dear @tseemann,
Thanks for developing prokka. This tools is very useful!
I was wondering if all the steps of Prokka’s workflow could fully use the available CPUs. I am running prokka for annotating a fasta (.fna) file that has around 7 billion nucleotides and I am providing maximum number of cpus available. But when I can see that it is utilizing only 1% of the CPU resources requested. I am running this via PBS qsub jobs.

`cat prokka_run.sh
#!/bin/bash

#PBS -l ncpus=96
#PBS -l mem=50GB
#PBS -l jobfs=5GB
#PBS -q normal
#PBS -P ****
#PBS -l walltime=24:00:00
#PBS -l storage=****
#PBS -l wd

module load prokka
prokka --outdir annotation --prefix prokka prokka.fna --cpus $PBS_NCPUS`

Many thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you,
