hi, we just installed the illumina pipeline 1.3.2. I haven't used it myself, but someone else who used it told me that only 6 of the 16 cores were used while multithreading.
They asked me if i had capped the core usage on some users, which i have not. In fact we run the basecalling for the 454 on our own server and that process uses all 16 cores while multicoring. I also have my own perl scripts that query the DB for analysis and those scripts are using threads and i get to 1600% CPU usage, so i am using 16 cores.
Is there any logical reason why the illumina pipeline is only 6 cores? Has anyone experienced this as well? It is the 1.3.2 illumina pipeline.
