Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows any studies (papers conference / journal, blog, other) for bowtie or bowtie2 performance in multi-core (core i7 6x) systems, and how performance is affected with using SSDs vs spindle disks. Also how much memory ideally per core, when running multi-threaded alignment against human genome indexes.
I am looking to build a box for the lab, and trying to figure out 2 things : how much memory per core, and whether there is significant advantage with SSD drives (given that TB storage is required for our sequencing and SSD is expensive!).
Also any ideas the group might have if SSD offers 100x speedup for bowtie, how to combine with large spindle storage. I am basically looking for a tower box in the lab, and while I could get an external spindle disk array and keep the SSD in the box, I want to avoid staging data back and forth.
