Hello everyone

How to set the amount of RAM used for the package BCRANK

In step ( > BCRANKout <- bcrank(fastaFile, restarts=25, use.P1=TRUE, use.P2=TRUE))?

I want to give it the highest amount of RAM to increase the speed of the analysis

Thanks

R by default uses as much RAM as it needs, so you can't specify the amount to use. Using more RAM probably wouldn't help anyway - I think you are really wanting to be able to use multiple cores to parallelize the computation, which could hypothetically speed things up. But this requires code to take advantage of multiple cores, and it doesn't appear that BCRANK can do this.

Thanks for the help

What can I comment on , the output of this step would save file?
