SCBI_MapReduce, a New Ruby Task-Farm Skeleton for Automated Parallelisation and Distribution in Chunks of Sequences: The Implementation of a Boosted Blast+

Figure 3

Fault tolerance testing using the real-world sequences in 100X chunks on the “x86 upgraded” cluster using 128 cores. The “Normal” execution occurred without errors. The “Job shutdown” included a complete job shutdown (indicated by a solid arrow) and then a manual restart. The “Worker failure” execution included three shutdowns (indicated by dashed arrows) of 16 workers each during the job.
