BFAST: optimization?

[kenietz]

Hi guys and Nils,
i have a question.

Is there a way to make BFAST run faster? Any way?

I am running one sample for more than a week on a PC with i7 3930k and 64 GB RAM and 8 threads. Still Its slow. And i need to run another 3 samples which are even bigger. Like 100 Mil SOLID PE reads.

Thanks for any input on that topic!
Cheers

Looks like you need more compute power! A cluster should suffice, or this: www.picocomputing.com/pdf/PR_PAG_2012.pdf

More likely you need a newer BFAST version or change your settings for the pairing step if that is where it got stuck.
