MrBayes is a program for Bayesian inference and model choice across a wide range of phylogenetic and evolutionary models. MrBayes uses Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to estimate the posterior distribution of model parameters.
MrBayes is available both in a serial version ('mb') and in a parallel version ('mb-mpi') that uses MPI instructions to distribute computations across several processors or processor cores. The serial version does not support multi-threading, which means that you will not be able to utilize more than one core on a multi-core machine for a single MrBayes analysis. If you want to utilize all cores,you need to run the MPI version of MrBayes.
Note: 'mb-mpi' in this version of the container does not run across multiple nodes (only within a node). This is a bug in the container (upstream).
