What are the minimum specs for running nextstrain with current GISAID volume of data? I have a computer with 64 GB RAM and 16 threads. ---

That is likely sufficient if you don’t parallelize too much. For comparison, the Nextstrain team currently runs our daily global+regional builds (7 builds total) in parallel with shared access to 96 CPUs, 180 GiB of RAM, and ~200 GiB of disk available. ---

For anyone finding this post later, [an update in a different post re: the suitability of 64 GB of RAM](https://nextstrain.discourse.group/t/augur-alignment-failing-problem-with-mafft/238/5).
