RAxML - Randomized Axelerated Maximum Likelihood RAxML is a program for sequential and parallel Maximum Likelihood (ML) based inference of large phylogenetic trees. It can also be used for postanalyses of sets of phylogenetic trees, analyses of alignments and, evolutionary placement of short reads. NOTE! The script builds single threaded and mpi versions of the executable with Slackware's default compiler flags. You are highly encouraged to check the script for building with other flags and optimisations. This will dramatically speed up RAxML on modern processors. When using RAxML please cite the following paper: A. Stamatakis: "RAxML Version 8: A tool for Phylogenetic Analysis and Post-Analysis of Large Phylogenies". In Bioinformatics, 2014
