I am running denovo whole genome assembly using Illumina NextSeq paired-end data of about 300 gb for a eukaryotic genome of approx 1.45 gb(genome size). My server configuration is 512gb RAM and 7.5 tb hard disc with 64 processor. My problem is that the assembly got stuck in the step 'generating adjency' from the past 30-35 days. I have started the assembly on 7th of May and its around 48 days since its running. Now I am little bit confused whether to abort the assembly or should I continue. Kindly guide me. I am not using MPI option since we don't have cluster in our machine. I would like to know is there any process or code to enhance the speed of assembly.
