alignment with "dorado basecaller" command

[Flower9618]

Hello, when using 'dorado basecaller' command to do the alignment with '--reference' parameters. Can I set up multiple threads to speed up the alignment process？

Hi @Flower9618,
Dorado basecaller does not have CLI arguments to set the number of threads used during alignment.

I'm interested in why you're exploring this as we typically see that alignment during basecalling runs concurrently and doesn't hugely affect basecalling performance.

Kind regards,
Rich

Dorado standalone already attempts to determine an appropriate number of threads to use for alignment - see here, here and here.
