Hi all, Evan - Perhaps you miss-read Ganga's email? Or maybe I am... If the miramem estimate (about 70GB) is right, he should be fine with 512GB of RAM (that's a lot more more than I have access to!). Based on Evan's time of 7 hours for 8 million Solexa reads, I think Ganga should try it overnight and see. If it is still running, I think from the log files would be possible to give an estimate of the required run time.
