Hi all,
I am attempting to use trinity for the first time on a combined dataset with ~25m reads. I had a few issues with the memory size of my VM but I hope I have managed to fix that now and trinity is currently running with max_memory 100G.
However, I am really paranoid that it is not actually working, as the terminal is currently sitting on one of the first lines in inchworm (which happens to be the one it sat on for a day before I added an extra disk).
I know that the inchworm is memory intensive and this dataset could take a pretty long time, but I have a feeling that nothing is happening. I have been checking the trinity_out_dir and none of the files have been updated since it started this step, including the supposed output of this step inchworm.K25.L25.fa.temp which hours later still has a size of 0.
However when I use the top command, inchworm is using lots of the CPU and memory, but I am not sure if this is giving me false hope.
I am very new to using linux, so I am sorry if this is a stupid question but could someone advise me if they think trinity is running but just very very slowly or if its not working and I need to figure out what is happening? I think CPU may be an issue.
Would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Hannah
For reference my exact command line was;
Trinity --seqType fq --SS_lib_type_RF --left ALL.1.fq --right ALL.2.fq --CPU 4 --max_memory 100G
