calcMemUse: Function 'calcMemUse' in Package 'flowType'

In flowType: Phenotyping Flow Cytometry Assays

Description

Estimates the memory usage in bytes for running flowType with a given set of parameters.

Usage

calcMemUse(NumPops, NumPropMarkers, NumMFIMarkers, NumCells, MaxMarkersPerPop, PartitionsPerChannel = 2)

Arguments

NumPops	Number of cell types which will be returned. Can be computed using calcNumPops
NumPropMarkers	Numer of markers to use for combinatorial gating
NumMFIMarkers	Number of markers to determine the MFIs of for every cell type
NumCells	Number of cells in the flowFrame passed to flowType
MaxMarkersPerPop	Maximum number of markers to use at once in combinatorial gating (ie all cell types over 1:MaxMarkersPerPop will be counted)
PartitionsPerChannel	Number of partitions per channel.

Details

If you use different numbers of partitions for different channels, try providing the highest number as PartitionsPerChannel, and expect an over-estimate.

Value

Estimated memory use in bytes.
