multiplane_parallel in an HPC (Slum)

[gmaggi]

Hi,

I provide support to researchers in a neuroscience institute. One of our users is trying to run suite2p using the multiplane_parallel option. We understand that we have to pass the host, username and pw.

I have some questions about it:

1. does this multiplane_parallel option speed up the computation?, if so, does this profit then of the resources in the local-computer PLUS an external server?

2. how would it work in a system as Slurm?
   I mean, here we can give several cpu cores and number of tasks, if the purpose of multiplane_parallel is to provide more resources, that should also be achieved using Slurm I believe.

Thanks,
Giuliano.
