SourceTracker2
Description
A major improvement in this version of SourceTracker is the ability to run it in parallel. Currently, parallelization across a single machine is supported for both estimation of source proportions and leave-one-out source class prediction. The speedup from parallelization should be approximately a factor of jobs that are passed. For instance, passing --jobs 4 will decrease runtime approximately 4X (less due to overhead). Note that you can only specify as many jobs as you have sink samples. For instance, passing 10 jobs with only 5 sink samples will not result in the code executing any faster than passing 5 jobs, since there is a 1 sink per job limit. Said another way, a single sink sample cannot be split up into multiple jobs.
