Performance of Ray @ Assemblathon 2

Ray is one of the assemblers that I watch closely but sadly lack the time to experiment with. Here's the candid email from Sebastien to the Ray mailing list on Ray's performance on the test data

For those who follow Assemblathon 2, my last run on my testbed (Illumina data from BGI and from Illumina UK for the Bird/Parrot):

(all mate-pairs failed detection because of the many peaks in each library, I will modify Ray to consider that)



Total number of unfiltered Illumina TruSeq v3 sequences: Total:
3 072 136 294, that is ~3 G sequences !


512 compute cores (64 computers * 8 cores/computer = 512)


Typical communication profile for one compute core:


[1,0]:Rank 0: sent 249841326 messages, received 249840303 messages.


Yes, each core sends an average of 250 M messages during the 18 hours !




Peak memory usage per core: 2.2 GiB


Peak memory usage (distributed in a peer-to-peer fashion): 1100 GiB


The peak occurs around 3 hours and goes down to 1.1 GiB per node immediately because the pool of defragmentation groups for k-mers occuring once is freed.



The compute cluster I use has 3 GiB per compute core. So using 2048 compute cores would give me 6144 GiB of distributed memory.
