Hello,
I need to run parallel analyses on the WGS files for each chromosome, I am using the Swiss Army Knife. There are at least 900 files for each chromosome and it seems that the system crashes for memory issues if I try to analyse all these files at the same time, in batch. Is there a way to avoid this? It would be very time consuming and error prone to launch separate jobs for small groups of files.
Thank you

Hi Marianna,
have you specified the maximum possible memory size for your RAP instance?
It is possible to request up to ~2TB of RAM.
mem4_ssd1_x128
would give you 1952 GiB RAM, and costs around 7.2576 GBP/hour, see the rate card https://dnanexus-prod-asg-dnanexusprodassets4d7ed69b-i607e894f3ya.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/images/files/UKB_Rate_Card-Current.pdf
Hello Rachel,
I actually have not done that. It might worth doing it since the jobs take only few minutes.
Thanks a lot for your reply
