Threads option for GraphBin

Open ashwinssudarshan opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Hi!

I was wondering if there is any threads option for GraphBin. The help page for the command did not mention any such option for the tool and wanted to know if the tool automatically picks up that information?

Also, if the tool is single-threaded, is it possible to explore a multi-threaded version of the tool for future updates?

Thanks for the comment. Currently, the program is single-threaded. We will update the code to use NumPy arrays in near future. Numpy uses BLAS library for computations which uses intel AVX instructions for parallelism. This will improve the overall program significantly without having to manage threads explicitly. Currently, we are using an external library python-labelpropagation. We will keep the issue open till we update the code.

Cheers!
