Hi All,
 
I want to do some performance testing with running mpiblast on NFS.
I have downloaded both mpiblast and mpiblast-pio from the website.
According to the pioblast paper, the later should provide better performance.
But the README file in mpiblast-pio recommends to use master-write
for result processing with NFS, which seems to abate the benifit of pioblast.
I wonder if this strategy is based on the performance consideration or
correctness (consistency) consideration. Is there any way to get good
performance with parallel output on NFS?
 
Thanks a lot!
