I am currently using trinity v2.6.0. My jobs keep crashing at the butterfly stage of the analysis, with such error messages as:
succeeded(1008), failed(108076) 99.9771% completed. Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx16G
The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
There is clearly a problem with assigning enough memory to the JVM. My overall memory and CPU allocation for the last job I ran were:
#PBS -l procs=64
#PBS -l mem=1048320mb
and the run parameters of Trinity were:
--max_memory 1024G \
--bflyHeapSpaceMax 16G \
--bflyGCThreads 16 \
--normalize_reads \
--CPU 64 \
I would like to know what the --bflyHeapSpaceMax option specifies. Is it the maximum JVM heap space overall, or for each thread Trinity has generated?
Should I simply set the --bflyHeapSpaceMax to the same value as --max_memory?
I understand that the --bflyGCThreads option removes objects from the JVM once they are no longer in use, and in doing so frees up the memory. Is this correct?
Should I allocate on butterfly GC thread for each CPU/thread used by Trinity?
Does Trinity generate more than one butterfly GC thread on a single CPU?

At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...09-26-2023, 06:26 AM -
Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...09-07-2023, 11:15 PM
