Hi Gözde,
I have never tried analyzing so many samples at once using MZmine. There may be
a lot of places in MZmine where the code is not optimized for such high-scale
analysis.
Also, it depends on the characteristics of your data (high vs low resolution,
centroided vs continuous spectra etc.).
You may need more RAM than 16GB (there are computers with 1TB of RAM or more).
You may also split the analysis into separate batches.
