Ray

Ray is a parallel software that computes de novo genome assemblies with next-generation sequencing data. Ray is written in C++ and can run in parallel on numerous interconnected computers using the message-passing interface (MPI) standard.

Information

Usage

See versions of ray which are available:

$ module avail ray

See the built-in help:

$ Ray -help | less

Example batch job

Running Ray on two different nodes via MPI with a total of 15 CPUs:

#!/bin/env bash
#SBATCH -p batch
#SBATCH -n 15
#SBATCH -J ray
#SBATCH --nodes=2

module load ray/2.3.1

readonly DATADIR=~/data/bfusca
readonly OUTDIR=~/data/bfusca/ray-sept26

# mpirun gets the number of processors from SLURM
mpirun Ray -k 27 -p ${DATADIR}/1_S1_L001_R1_001_val_1.fastq.gz ${DATADIR}/1_S1_L001_R2_001_val_2.fastq.gz -o ${OUTDIR}

Save in a file and submit using sbatch ray-mpi.sbatch.
