multi-thread

Open wbvguo opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hi,

I tried this tool; it takes ~53GB for the human genome and did not finish in 24 hours (not sure when will it finish), may I ask if the multithreading option will be introduced in the future?

Best,

Multithreading is probably unlikely for the immediate future; maybe down the road when I have time. What value(s) of k are you using? That's a lot of memory. If your k is large, other tools may be more appropriate.

I used k=19. I found an alternative solution for using jellyfish, and a benchmark paper for k-mer counting methods, hope this helps!
