 Before running mpiBLAST, it is necessary to configure the shared and local storage paths that each node will use to access the database. A shared storage path is usually a path to a directory residing on a file server, such as NFS, AFS, or samba. The local storage path is typically a subdirectory within the /tmp directory, e.g. /tmp/mpiblast. As worker nodes search the database, they will copy fragments to the local storage directory. During subsequent searches of the same database, the fragments will already reside in local storage and thus will not need to be copied. Note that diskless nodes can be supported by setting the local storage path to be the same as the shared storage path. To configure mpiBLAST create a .ncbirc file in your home directory that looks like: Before running mpiBLAST, it is necessary to configure the shared and local storage paths that each node will use to access the database.
