Read Until on a Promethion

[mattloose]

HI Alex,

Currently it's not possible to run on PromethION. We do mention this in our preprint I think. We don't advise that you run on PromethION at present until such a time as ONT provide some deeper fixes about this.

Cheers

Matt

I've just checked the preprint and we do say it should "in principle" scale to the promethION - and that does hold true - but I'd wait for further news before trying this out on that platform.

Hi Matt,
thank you for the quick reply. So we will not further try to get that running and wait for further updates!
Best Alex

Is readfish going to support the PromethION soon? Currently, is it limited by the compute-power of the GPUs on the PromethION or is it a limitation of the read until API?

[mattloose]

Hi - the limitation is neither of these. Its more fundamental to the platform and is being worked on by ont. I’d keep an eye on announcements from ONT about this.
