Runtime and RAM usage performance for each assembler. Runtime and RAM usage for each assembler: Oases, SOAPdenovo, ABySS and Trinity. (a) Real-time monitored runtime and RAM usage of each method using Dme-13g data set. The maximum RAM usage was marked as asterisk for each assembler, and three stages of Oases and Trinity were shown by different colors (red: Velveth and Inchworm; green: Velvetg and Chrysalis; blue: Oases and Butterfly). RAM usage (b) and runtime (d) of each method using different amounts of inputs with k-mer value of 25. RAM usage (c) and runtime (e) of each method using Dme-13g data set with different k-mer value. #Alternatively, jobs from Butterfly module could be distributed in clusters using a job array, which could greatly reduce the running time for this step.
