Good Morning Davide: It is not a buffer problem from stdin. You would encounter the same problem reading from a file. I'm guessing you are getting an out of memory condition while running wigToBigWig. The program consumes an immense amount of memory while it works. Many 10s of Gb of memory for large wiggle files. You will need to have a large memory machine to convert large wiggle files.
I'll run some measurements here to see if I can get a clue on the maximum amount of memory. --Hiram ----- Original Message ----- From: "Davide Cittaro" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 11, 2011 6:59:18 AM Subject: [Genome] wigToBigWig buffer size Hi all, is there a buffer size for stdin reading in wigToBigWig? How much is it?
