Swap memory size

11-11-2009, 12:19 AM

Hi

I am a newbie to NGS and just build myself a machine for 454 sequencing analysis. I'm in the process of installing ubuntu as a dualboot with windows 7, and have a question in the process about swap memory. The physical memory is 24gb RAM and I have seen that normally you double the swap memory. Is it necesseary to give a 50gb partition to the swap memory, or is that just waste of space?

Thanks for a great community

Best, Erik

Just give 5g to swap. if your program need more than 5G memory from swap, it is a time to upgrade your machine since the accessing data in swap is very very slow. Accessing > 5G data in swap is not good idea.

Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems

by SEQadmin2

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
