[galaxy-dev] reasonable linux box specs

[Andrew Norman]

Hi all

I'd like to set up a local installation of Galaxy on a dedicated linux
machine. I've taken a look at the Galaxy appliance, but since I'm the
only one in my lab who will be using it, it's outside my price range.

I'm going to be doing RNA seq read mapping and differential expression
analysis. Can anyone recommend some minimum specs for the machine? I
understand that more memory/cores will enable faster processing, but I'm
willing to wait overnight for results to save some cash. Any advice you
have about this will be helpful!

Thanks,
Andy

[galaxy-dev] galaxy using EC2 spot pricing

[Andrew Norman]

Does anyone have any experience running Galaxy using Amazon's EC2 spot
pricing? It seems like that could save a lot of money as compared to
on-demand pricing, and it appears that there are ways to mix on-demand and
spot instances within one processing cluster:
