Running Cd Hit is slow

[mdMoinuddinSheam]

Hi,

I am running cd hit on HPC and I have around 3.5 million sequences. The code I am using is:

`#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name="cd_copy2"
#SBATCH --partition=Orion
#SBATCH --nodes=3
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=32
#SBATCH --time=30-00:00:00

module load cd-hit/4.8.1

cd-hit-est -i /projects/luo_lab/ncldv/cd_hit/aloha1_megahit_copy_2/aloha1_megahit.fa.gz
-o /projects/luo_lab/ncldv/cd_hit/aloha1_megahit_copy_2/aloha1/aloha1_megahit.fa.gz
-c 0.95 -n 8 -M 160000 -s 0.9 -aS 0 `

However, it is taking around 30 days to cluster this. Is there any way to make it faster? Thanks
