Hello,
I just won a grant to purchase a computer system to support the University of Connecticut's 454, and Solid (comming soon) sequencing machines. Currently we are involved in sequencing several genomes, and are attempting to perform de novo assembly.
I was wondering what system others have purchased to do large mammalian de novo assembly, under 100K.
Our current 128GB Dell runs out of memory while running velvet (on a combination of Sanger, 454 and Solid data).
Currently I think the dell R900 has 256GB memory.
Sun has a machine with 512GB
SGI Altix 3700BX 64 1.5Ghz with 512GB RAM.
Has anyone had any experience with scaleMP to build a virtual high memory system?
Thanks,
James
