I personally wouldn't bother with SGE. Moses has support for multi-threading for a long time now.
However, I would choose a solution where the machines have LOTS of ram. A typical server I currently use has 144GB RAM lots of CPU cores and disk space is also useful On 1 June 2014 11:12, Attilio Santocchia <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm starting to use moses and I'm going through the documentation. > The how-to is quite clear and I was able to setup a test machine for the > Experiment but now I'd like to have some advice.
