I am waiting almost half an hour for one single MGF-file to be searched against a human FASTA file. I would really like to use MaxQuant, it has lots of features. I like to use The GPM Fury, because the search takes less than a minute, but there are some issues with the configuration, seems I cannot change digestion parameters. So, what can I do to speed up the MaxQuant processing?
You can increase the number of processors or threads (depending upon the MaxQuant version you re using) to speed up the MaxQuant processing. In general, one thread needs 2GB of RAM for processing, so if your computer has 8GB RAM, you can increase the number of processors to 4.
Thanks, I already increased the number of processors, but it is still very slow. I am wondering if I could cut down on something, PTMs etc. But I do not add more PTMs than I do with The GPM.
Hi Cato,
I got the same problem! Wondering if you could find a solution to this issue.
