ELI5: MEGAHIT reproducibility question
If someone is willing, I would love to have some understanding as to why when running MEGAHIT for assembly there seems to be no way to make the results deterministic if you use more than one CPU? I would like to have some more intuition into this.
This seems to provide a bit of an answer but I would love more clarity
Thank you all!
