Lot of swap memory being used up

[Suyash Agarwal]

I am running denovo whole genome assembly using Illumina NextSeq paired-end data of about 300 gb for a eukaryotic genome of approx 1.45 gb(genome size). My server configuration is 512gb RAM and 7.5 tb hard disc with 64 processor. I have run abyss using the MPI option, its already 7 days, since the program is in the reading process and is taking full RAM, along with 300 GB swap memory. Kindly let me know if there is some problem. Currently I am running the program on 60 cores.
