Re: [galaxy-dev] multithreaded tools
Hi, the four processes I saw where all called lastz and ran in parallel and consumed 100% of a core each. My guess is that the lastz_wrapper.py is responsible for this. Looking at it I see a some code regarding queuing and in the very beginning this line: WORKERS = 4 and further one the class BaseQueue which starts threads. BTW. there seems to be no way to adjust this number other than editing the source file - bad.

Re: [galaxy-dev] multithreaded tools
Andreas, I am not sure if you can call these surprises. Some tools (which I highly appreciate) of Peter have been parallelised to get the job done more quickly. I earlier mentioned the ncbi blast+ wrappers but there the tool by itself handles the multithreading. Other tools I am aware that use a python script/wrapper to chunk up the initial query and rejoin later are tools like signalp, TMHMM and such. Usually it also involves some parsing of output to data that galaxy can subsequently handle. In the latter examples its done using python scripts, but for some of our custom tools we did it in perl, some using bash parallel, or using R. I wouldn't have a solution to getting to know this without going through the initial wrappers...

The short answer is *every* tool used in Galaxy may be multi-threaded. Sometimes this is done in the binary (e.g. BLAST), others do it in the wrapper when the underlying tool is single threaded (e.g. my SignalP and TMHMM wrappers which Alex mentioned). Sometimes the default is clearly defined in the XML (as a command line switch, e.g. BLAST), sometimes it is defined in a wrapper script, and sometimes it is defined in the tool binary itself (e.g. use all available CPUs).

John Chilton has made a wonderful addition to the Galaxy. However, not being able to give users some manual control over the resource requests places the burden of figuring them out on the administrator and the dataset-based heuristics are often much worse then the knowledge of the person running the analysis. In addition, different tools use different options for setting thread numbers and cannot communicate realistic or even reasonable limits as those are based on the data from actually running the tool in different conditions and finding how well it scales. Dynamic negotiation is unfeasible at this time I think. The simple non-dynamic setup does not really work for any real-world multi-user instance anymore.

Re: [galaxy-dev] multithreaded tools
Andreas, Yes this is possible. You can also have a look at the ncbi blast+ tools written by Peter. The same is true. Usually the tool wrappers (xml) have an option preconfigured how many threads can be used... You can adjust these directly in the xml OR as we did we added the option to be adjustable by a parameter directly in galaxy. Default low number of cores, but advanced users (login email bound) can select higher thread numbers. No experience on cluster/grid tools.
