Hi everyone,
I am new to the world of bioinformatics and am looking for some general advice on how many threads to run various commands on (e.g. currently using
“qiime fragment-insertion sepp” command). I am working on a Mac with 12 cores, ubuntu installed, 24 GB of memory, and an Intel Xeon processor. I thought that there were only two threads per core, but when I check out the activity monitor, I see many more than 24 running. I haven’t been able to find a good explanation of threads per core online! Could anyone please explain threads per core or offer a link to a resource I might checkout? Also advice on how many threads I should run fragment-insertion sepp on for the best performance would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance! :~)
Cheers,
Claire
