RAxML

RAxML (Randomized Axelerated Maximum Likelihood) is a program for sequential and parallel Maximum Likelihood based inference of large phylogenetic trees.

Information

Usage

Show all available versions of RAxML:

$ module avail RAxML

Load one version into your environment and run it:

$ module load RAxML/8.2.12
$ raxmlHPC-PTHREADS-AVX

Note: you should set the number of concurrent CPU threads using the -T option. For example, if you have requested five CPUs in your SLURM batch script, you can tell RAxML to use five threads:

$ raxmlHPC-PTHREADS-AVX -T 5
