hmmpgmd-shard

Quick Start

• Command: hmmpgmd_shard [options]
• Local executable: /home/vimalinx/miniforge3/envs/bio/bin/hmmpgmd_shard
• Full reference: See references/help.md for the current startup failure; daemon behavior below is grounded in the local man page

When To Use This Tool

• Use hmmpgmd_shard when hmmpgmd would waste too much RAM by loading the full protein sequence database into every worker.
• This sharded variant divides protein sequence databases across worker nodes while keeping HMM databases unsharded.
• Reach for it when you already want an hmmpgmd master-worker deployment but need predictable RAM savings on very large sequence databases.

Common Patterns

# Start a sharded master that expects 4 worker shards
hmmpgmd_shard --master --num_shards 4 --seqdb seqdb.hmmpgmd --hmmdb models.hmm

hmmpgmd_shard --worker 10.0.0.5 --seqdb seqdb.hmmpgmd --hmmdb models.hmm --cpu 8
