Because of the large size of single cell RNA-Seq data sets and the computationally-intensive tools used in single cell analysis, we have amended our system requirements and recommendations for installations with the Single Cell toolkit.
Up to 100,000 cells per analysis
Required
- Linux: Ubuntu® 12.04, Redhat® 61, CentOS® 6, or newer
- CPU: 64-bit 2 GHz quad-core processor
- Memory: 64 GB of RAM
- Local scratch space: None
Storage: 1 TB available for data
Recommended
- Linux: Ubuntu® 12.04, Redhat® 61, CentOS® 6, or newer
- CPU: 64-bit 2 GHz quad-core processor
- Memory: 128 GB of RAM
- Local scratch space: 500 GB with cached or native speeds of 2GB/s or higher
Storage: 1 TB available for data
More than 100,000 cells per analysis
Required
- Linux: Ubuntu® 12.04, Redhat® 61, CentOS® 6, or newer
- CPU: 64-bit 2 GHz quad-core processor
- Memory: 256 GB of RAM
- Local scratch space: 1 TB with cached or native speeds of 2GB/s or higher
Storage: 1 TB available for data
Recommended
- Linux: Ubuntu® 12.04, Redhat® 61, CentOS® 6, or newer
- CPU: 64-bit 2 GHz quad-core processor
- Memory: 512 GB of RAM
- Local scratch space: 1 TB with cached or native speeds of 2GB/s or higher
Storage: 1 TB available for data
For fastest performance:
- Newer generation CPU cores with avx2 or avx-512 are recommended.
- Performance scales proportionality to the number of CPU cores available.
- Hyper thread cores (threads) scales performance for most operations other than principal component analysis.
