ParDRR-MPI

ParDRR-MPI is a parallel tool to remove duplicate reads. Duplicate reads can be seen as identical or nearly identical sequences with some mismatches. This tool will let the users to avoid the analysis of not necessary reads, reducing the time of subsequent procedures with the dataset (e.g., assemblies, mappings, etc.).

The tool is implemented with MPI in order to exploit the parallel capabilities of multicore clusters. It is faster than multithreaded counterparts (end of 2015) for the same number of cores and, thanks to the message-passing technology, it can be executed on clusters.
