[hts-users:02293] Re: parallel mode for HERest

[Junichi Yamagishi <jyamagis@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

It might be too late to response answers.....


HTS version of HERest assume that the so-called dump file for
HMM (HER?.hmm.acc) is first and followed by the dump file for
duration (HER?.dur.acc).

But the perl script below simply combines all the dump fils as follows:

$command = "$command -p 0";
$command = "$command $ARGIN[$#ARGIN] $mmfi\/\*.acc";

This means the wrong order of the dump files, that is
HER1.dur.acc HER1.hmm.acc HER2.dur.acc HER2.hmm.acc ....

Regards,
Junichi
