How to perform faster local BLAST search on my PC. |
| When you perform local BLAST search on
your PC, BLAST program will be executed as one process.
Since many programs are executed at the same time on
Windows PC or Macintosh computer, the BLAST process
can't utilize 100% of the CPU performance and
utilization ratio is not always the same. If there
are many processes running on your PC, the elapsed time
to perform BLAST search will be longer and the search speed
will be
slower. In order to get the highest performance of
the local BLAST, please quit unnecessary programs and do
not use your PC during the searches. |
