Hi, I have a ~9 GB .delta file that I'm trying to filter with delta-filter (MUMmer 3.23) on a computer with 16 GB RAM (+ 4 GB swap space). Within a minute or two of launching, the delta-filter process takes up essentially the entire system memory and is eventually killed by the system, apparently without having produced any output. I'm new to MUMmer, but my naive expectation was that it would only need enough memory to store the full delta file (at most). Is this high memory usage expected? If so, is there a way to estimate the memory that would be required for the delta-filter process to complete successfully? Thanks very much in advance, Greg |
