I don't think blast is something that can run across nodes (or at least 
it didn't used to be).  There is/was something called "mpiblast" that 
could do that.


If you'll excuse the plug this sounds like a good question for the 
Beowulf list https://www.beowulf.org/ which is a more general purpose 
cluster computing list (disclaimer: I'm the caretaker of it these days).


All the best,
Chris

[slurm-users] Multinode blast run

[Mahmood Naderan]

Hi,
Has anyone run blast on multiple nodes via slurm? The question should be
asked from blast guys but I didn't find their discussion mailing list.

I see the example on [1] which uses "-N 1" and "--ntasks-per-node".
So that limits to one node run only.

Thanks for any comment.
