- parallelization of assembly, mapping and amplicon variant analysis (means: run the software with more than one CPU)

Does this mean less memory usage?

i.e. if I need 64 Gb of RAM on a single box now, will I just need 64 boxes with 1Gb of RAM (approximately) when using version 2.3?

I asked tech-support, but the reply was unclear.

The cpus need to share memory, so no. The parallelization is based on threading, not MPI. However, the memory footprint is likely to be lower as well for this version.
