Description

Description of feature

It would be great if the pipeline split each of the Trinity stages (jellyfish, inchworm, chrysalis, butterfly) into distinct processes so they could be better targeted to cpu and memory resources required for each task and make more efficient use of HPC (and Batch etc) resources.

An example implementation of this for reference would be: https://github.com/marcodelapierre/trinity-nf

Research direction

Start by reviewing the pipeline workflow and the referenced trinity-nf implementation. Map the jellyfish, inchworm, chrysalis, and butterfly stages, then determine how each can run as a distinct process with independently targeted CPU and memory resources. Done means all four stages are separately schedulable and the pipeline remains functional on HPC or Batch resources.
