[Bioclusters] SGE and parallel Blast

[Ivo Grosse]

There could be one additional reason why running Blast with the flag 
"-a 2" on a dual-processor SMP could be of advantage: it needs less 
memory than two (independent) Blast jobs simultaneously running on the 
same node.  Can somebody tell me the simplest (or most elegant) way of 
submitting "blast -a 2" jobs through SGE?

P.S. 

Perhaps: qsub -pe threads 2 <my_blast_script>?

Or something else instead of threads?
