Hello,
For certain tools, like bwa or blast, there is a non-configurable number of threads to use inside the tool xml. This is inconvenient for certain cluster configurations, where what we want is division of a job into multiple jobs (I guess this is what is intended by the <parallel> tag), and not creation of threads that may wreak havoc in a cluster.
Is there any reason why bwa and blast have --num-threads=8 pre-configured in the xml file?
Thanks, Daniel
