Unicycler and GNU parallel

Hi,

unfortunately Unicycler forum is inactive and I would like to ask some info.

I’m using a workstation of 56 CPUs with GNU parallel.

When I’m running Unicycler with the “–threads 25” option is going “fast”.

When I use GNU parallel, 2 jobs in parallel, is going slower even if I use the “–treads 25” option for all jobs.

I just made a copy of a fastq file (pair-end) to create the samples for the jobs.

Do you have any experience with this and any advice?

Thank you!
