AUGUSTUS Forum

Hi!

I am training Augustus through BUSCO and I would like to reduce the running time as much as possible.

In fact, I specified to BUSCO to use 15 CPUs and it seems that BUSCO executed Augustus taking this parameter into account:
optimize_augustus.pl --cpus=15 [...]

However, only one thread is used by Augustus...
Does it make sense ? Does Augustus use several threads for some tasks and a single thread for others?
Is there anything I can do to tell Augustus to use more than one processor?

Thank you in advance for your help,
Best regards,
Rémi

Augustus, by default, does not utilize multiple threads for its computations. It is primarily designed to run using a single thread. Therefore, even if you specify a higher number of CPUs to BUSCO, Augustus will not automatically utilize them.
