Hi @YingChen94,

How much memory do you have available on your machine? And, what is the memory usage listed in the CF8.k40-w32.n100-5000.physlr.tsv.gz.time file from the failed step?
Error 137 generally means that you have run out of memory, so the job was killed. So, you could try running the job on a larger machine if the memory was the issue.

Thank you for your interest in physlr!

Indeed it looks like it used up all the memory. Do you know how much memory physlr needs for a 4Gb genome? Thanks!

@aafshinfard - Do you have any guidelines for the expected memory usage, and any suggestions for reducing the memory of this step?
