Let me know how it goes. -Jim Kent March 12, 2001 +Dynamic BLAT server: + +gfServer now supports a dynamic mode, which allows servers that are +started on demand without needing to continually occupy memory. A single +dynamic gfServer can serve multiple genomes and multiple simultaneous +users. + +An index is prebuilt using 'gfServer index'. See gfServer help +for details and naming convention. Fast hard disk or SSDs should be +used to store the genomes and indexes. Sufficient memory will be +need for unique genome indexes that are used simultaneously. Queries +against we same genome index will be shared between multiple process. + +The server is then configued to start via xinetd. See +blat-xinetd.example for an example configuration. +
