Hello vg team,

I'm building Giraffe indexes on an HPC cluster with a hard 48 hr walltime limit per job. The job used ~800GB RAM, it does not produce any output files until completion and exceeds the 48 hour walltime and gets killed, I am also using -t/threads to make it run faster.

Questions

1. I wanted to ask if vg minimizer supports any form of checkpointing or resumable execution?
2. Is there a way to make it periodically write partial results to disk?
3. would splitting the graph by chromosome and merging minimizer indexes later be valid?

Enviorment:
Threads: 32
Memory: 800GB
running on apptainer in slurm

Thank you so much!
