heavenfeel has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all,

This is Michael, a bioinformatician work on DNA sequencing data (fastq file).

I would like to ask how could I use more than one threads for one calculation/process which could not be splited into small pieces?

Since I use one thread for 25min to filter one fastq.gz file, I would like to use more than one threads to filter one file in order to speed up the whole process. Is it possible?

Thank you very much!!!
