mpialign - parallel local alignment of biological sequences

Description

       mpiAlign  is  a  local sequence aligner, especially intended for use with large biological DNA sequences,
       with more than 1Mbp (Millions of base pairs). It uses the Smith-Waterman exact algorithm with affine  gap
       cost function to perform this task.

   Generaloptions:-h     display this help and exit

       -s <scores>
              specify a comma-separated list of scores to be used while calculating aligment matrices throughout
              the  program.  The  list  must be in the format "-sMATCH,MISMATCH,GAP_OPEN,GAP_EXTENSION" (without
              quotes), and is parsed in this PRECISE order; no spaces are allowed between values. If  there  are
              any  unspecified  parameters,  these  are  set  to default values and a warning message is issued;
              exceeding parameters are discarded

   Stage2options:-S <split>
              (mpialign only) number of parts in which to split the alignment matrix; after this step  a  cyclic
              block model is applied, subdividing each part equally between all available nodes

       -H <hblk>
              (mpialign  only)  number  of horizontal subdivisions made by each node to its alignment submatrix;
              since this value defines block width, a good choice should allow two full matrix lines to fit  the
              processor's cache pages, improving algorithm performance

       -V <vblk>
              (mpialign only) number of vertical subdivisions made by each node to its alignment submatrix; this
              value directly affects the amount of internode communication and is used ONLY if 'split' is set to
              1, otherwise it is set to the number of available nodes
