This depends on system size and the type of data used in structure calculation. It's easy to understand that larger systems use more data, but also, electron density maps from cryoEM can be quite large (and an typically be trimmed down considerably). Offhand, there are some energy terms (SAXS, diffusion tensor) which make use of a tessellated surface which can consume very much memory, particularly for extended structures. However, for reference, I spec the hardware I buy with at least 4GB per process. best regards-- Charles ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the XPLOR-NIH list, click the following link: http://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?SUBED1=XPLOR-NIH&A=1
