7 hour vs 21 minute runtime for snippy on usegalaxy.eu

usegalaxy.eu support

As part of preparing a video for Galaxy Smörgåsbord, I ran snippy on a M. tuberculosis sample against the M. tuberculosis reference genome (4.4 MB). The history is history ID 892dbfe970f1b275. The first time I ran this process it ran for 7 hours and 29 minutes (history content ID 11ac94870d0bb33ab4c15a5f44a50587). The second time I ran it, it ran for a more usual 21 minutes (history content API ID 11ac94870d0bb33a6be2899d512a2697). Examining the log, the bulk of the runtime was spent on running bwa-mem, which is known to be an I/O intensive process.

I’m reporting this in case investigation shows something useful about usegalaxy.eu configuration.

Thanks, Peter, for reporting it.
Last week, we fixed several tools that were monopolizing computing nodes. Hope this helps to normalize the computing times.
