We Need MOAR cores! For Science!

xkm1948 · Jan 18, 2018

So this was the same thing I covered before. A very portable but super good DNA/RNA sequencing machine based on nanopore tech. Just doing some small genome reads. And holy cow it brought my system to a crawling speed in no time. And this is still just running half of the workload on my PC ===> Interfacing, RAW data gathering and DNA base calling. All the rest of the sequence quality control and etc are done over cloud server in UK. And to think this small DNA/RNA sequencer is only supposed to work with PC, makes you wonder whether a Threadripper 16c32t should be standard for such workloads.

Send it over man! For science!

I did compare different clock speed. Unfortunately Nanopore sequencing is also very sensitive to core speed.

We are building a 1950X and X399 Taichi this weekend specifically dedicated to this task. Oh and did I mention we may be getting a Titan V in there as well?

Always have had Core & Ghz envy
