Bioinformatics uses lots of memory. 3-4 years ago people were buying 512GB machines for it, and I'm sure it's crazier now.

- collyw 13y agoMost bioinformaticians don't know how to code very well in my experience. (Some yes, but the majority I have worked with, no).
- scott_s 13y agoI doubt most people doing bioinformatics are doing their number crunching on the machine in their office. They're probably using a cluster that's maintained in a server room. Keep in mind that these are workstations, not servers. They are intended to be used by an individual who, for whatever reason, has interactive applications with large compute requirements.
