slurm and CfnCluster auto-scaling

Question

[David]

Hi Guys, Just a quick question if some of you have setup a cloud amazon CFncluster together with a queing system such as slurm (or SGE) for bioinformatics.

Just need some advice on how to use auto-scaling to use more than one node when using applications such as blast or bowtie2 ??

Thanks, david

This might be a better question for stackoverflow or other server/cloud related forums. Also, my assumption was: unless your program is mpi enabled, you can't use more than 1 node for your job, is this not right? Can you still configure so that regular program (non-mpi) can be spawned across multiple nodes (without using GNU parallel)?
