How much computing resources does an ABySS run take

Hi,
I have Illumina short read (paired-end) data with 127x coverage and mate-pair (3K & 8K) data of total 450 GB FASTQ files for a plant genome with 1.2 Gb size. Can anyone give me pointer on how much of computing resources (time duration for the run, storage space reqquired for outputfiles etc) does an ABySS run take.

Thanks in advance...

I would suggest you post such question to abyss mailing list;

The Table S1. Assembly execution times in white spruce genome paper using abyss:

k=109 / unitig contig Scaffold

Peak # CPU Cores 1,380 288 36

Time (hr) 38 155 104

Peak Memory (GB) 4,333 73 62
