Phylogenetic Analysis with Space/Time models (PHAST) is a freely available software package consisting of a collection of command-line programs and supporting libraries for comparative and evolutionary genomics. Best known as the search engine behind the Conservation tracks in the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genome Browser, PHAST also includes several tools for phylogenetic modeling, functional element identification, as well as utilities for manipulating alignments, trees and genomic annotations.
This package is built using SPACK and optimized for AVX, AVX2 and AVX512 CPUs. To use the optimized version, you need to add source /etc/profile.d/zlmod.sh to your submit script before loading any modules. By default, the AVX2 optimized version (head node is Haswell CPU) is in your path. The AVX2 optimized version will run on Skylake (enge, im2080, chem, health) and Cascade Lake (hawkcpu, hawkmem, hawkgpu, infolab) CPUs but not on Ivybridge (debug) CPUs.
