Parallel-RI, Parallel Executable Binary to Wrap RIblast

This binary provides a CPU multithreaded wrapper of RIblast. In addition to the original options of RIblast, you can pass additional options such as a num. of threads and a path to RIblast. You must notice the IO options of RIblast have been changed into the new ones. You can check all the available options by adding a option, "-h".

Installation

This project has been written by Rust, a system programming language. So first you need to install a Rust compiler (Rustc), Rust package manager (Cargo) and Rust standard library. Please visit a Rust homepage to see more about Rust. You can install Rustc, Cargo and Rust standard library with one line as follows:

$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- --default-toolchain nightly

The above installation is done by Rustup, so you can easily switch a compiler to use. The nightly compiler enbles to test and benchmark on Rust. If you don't need them, switch to the stable one as follows:

$ rustup default stable

So you can install Parallel-RI as follows:

$ cargo install --git https://github.com/heartsh/prll-ri

Check if Parallel-RI has been installed properly as follows:

$ prll-ri

If you're interested in how much faster Parallel-RI is, run a benchmark as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/heartsh/prll-ri && cd prll-ri
$ cargo test -- --nocapture

If you use low performance disks such as HDDs, consider to install this repo.'s RIblast improved on IO performance.
