Anyone use RACER for error correction

Question

[yolanda.yuping]

Has anyone used RACER for error correction? It worked when I tested it on fastq file with 4 reads. But when I used it for a ~12M fastq files, it seemed to take forever (it's been ~2hrs, still running). I am thinking if I did something wrong when compiling. I received Makefile_parallel and RACER_parallel.cpp from the author. I ran the following command on linux:

make -f Makefile_parallel

It printed the following and generate RACER in the directory

g++ -O3 -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -fopenmp RACER_parallel.cpp -o RACER

To use RACER, I followed their instruction (http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~ilie/RACER/):

./RACER XXX.fastq XXX_corrected.fastq 250

Anyone has experience with RACER?

Thanks!
