Hi Michelle, When it comes to > multiple instances of cTakes in parallel You can certainly start as many pipelines as you want as separate JVM processes, just make sure that you divide your notes among separate batches, one batch per process. Also keep in mind that you don't want to clobber your disk or reserve more ram than you've actually got available.
We have an UIMA-AS ( http://uima.apache.org/doc-uimaas-what.html ) solution that we have used with cTAKES. It is a small collection of bash scripts that set up an environment and control processes. There are also a couple .xml descriptors and configuration files that UIMA-AS needs At some point it should be cleaned up a bit and checked in to sandbox, but it has been a very low (subgrade) priority for me. Since you are local you could check out our setup in person if you like.

I'm currently using ctakes-clinical-pipeline's fastPipeline() and wanted to run it over multiple documents. Would it be okay to create multiple AnalysisEngine? How has other people done this process? I wasn't sure if this would work because of this Issue <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__issues.apache.org_jira_browse_CTAKES-2D151&d=BQIBaQ&c=qS4goWBT7poplM69zy_3xhKwEW14JZMSdioCoppxeFU&r=fs67GvlGZstTpyIisCYNYmQCP6r0bcpKGd4f7d4gTao&m=svksrWw8VDRwa_boN3vNEZcVigCzwcgvEl6IJGlQHtU&s=a4PI6rKGTYADqtjqXYt8JHMPEsg7rI3lbmP4pqXkVCA&e= >. ------- Michelle Chen Massachusetts Institute of Technology Electrical Engineering and Computer Science B.S.
