Our dna sequencer routinely takes multiple 1/2 gig tiffs pictures of illuminated base-pairs every hour

For how long has this been taking pictures? Could imagine you got Petabyte servers?

Challenge accepted: I'm 25 and roughly 3 months = 365*25+90 = 9215 days * 24 h = 221160 h * 500mb (assuming it takes only 1 picture, I know it's not) = 110580000 MB / 1000 = 110580GB / 1000 = 110,58 PB

The sequencing is finished in 2 - 3 days. The images are analyzed on the fly and the illuminated spots are converted into text files like "GATTACA" and images are then deleted.

here read this pdf for how the sequencer works. http://lhmg.amu.edu.pl/text/sequencing/Primary%20analysis.pdf

Opened just fine on my 24gb desktop, hmm, maybe it's about bottlenecks, aka if one part in your chain is weak it doesn't open, also what the hell are you doing with 128gb of ram on a Mac Pro, are you doing some UHD video editing because other than that a Mac which such amount of ram is hmm don't know lol, at least on windows server or linux you can use it, as a ram/memory sever >.< or something

That is a nice shot.  Man the moon looks like it has been hit many times by all types of meteors especially in that pic, thanks for sharing.

Never heard of any system having 128 GB RAM. My friend is also having a Mac Pro Octa Core. But his RAM capacity is only 24 GB. Any idea how much does the 128 GB RAM Mac Pro Octa Core costs?
