I have attached an example protocol that reads a structure/SMILES and then search multiple databases for nearest neighbors and then pooling them all together. Now when you run this protocol you would notice that while Asinex SD reader is reading the data to the similarity component, NCI reader waits. Why does this happen? These two are separate readers and it seems Asinex process locks out NCI process. Is there a way these could run simultaneously?  Is there a better way to do this?

This example protocol somewhat mimics my original protocol that I'm developing.

Many thanks.
