QIIME 2 features the ability to parallelize all QIIME 2 Pipelines using the PARSL parallel scripting library under the hood. Running small workflows in parallel on a laptop requires minimal configuration, and can be achieved by simply passing the --p-parallel flag to the pipeline you are running without additional configuration; however, QIIME 2 also support parallelizing large scale workflows across multiple nodes on a compute cluster. This is particularly useful for pipelines in MOSHPIT and q2-boots which often do the same type of calculation a very large number of times on a large set of data.

This webapp can help you create a file to pass into the --p-parallel-config parameter of a QIIME 2 Pipeline you want to run in parallel on an HPC cluster using the Slurm scheduler. PARSL and thus QIIME 2 do support schedulers other than slurm, but this app currently only supports creating local and Slurm configs. More information about QIIME 2 parallel configuration may be found here. You should read that documentation before using this app or trying to parallelize your workflows at all.
