Minimum System Requirements

Partek Flow requires the following for successful installation on a Linux-based system:

• Linux Ubuntu^® 12.04, Redhat^® 6, CentOS^® 6, or newer
• 64-bit 2GHz quad-core processor
• 32GB of onboard memory
• 1TB of storage available for data
• /opt – 100GB of storage available for installation

Partek Flow can also be installed on Macintosh computers with comparable hardware specifications. Please refer to the the Partek Flow Mac OS X installation guide for detailed installation instructions.

Note that some analyses have higher requirements, e.g. to run the STAR aligner on a reference genome of size ~3 GB (such as human, mouse or rat), 16 cores with 38 GB of RAM are required. Input sample file size can also impact memory usage, which is particularly the case for TopHat alignments.

Increasing hardware resources (cores, RAM, disk space, and speed) will allow for faster processing of more samples.
