Comparison of depth tools for time and memory use on a 30× BAM
| Tool | Threads | Relative time | Time (hh:mm:ss) | Memory (MiB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mosdepth | 1 | 1 | 25:23 | 1196 |
| Mosdepth | 3 | 0.57 | 14:27 | 1196 |
| Samtools | 1 | 1.98 | 50:12 | 27 |
| Sambamba | 1 | 5.71 | 2:24:53 | 166 |
| BEDtools | 1 | 5.31 | 2:14:44 | 1908 |
Note: Mosdepth and BEDTools use much more memory, but mosdepth is nearly twice as fast as the next fastest tool, samtools. The threads column reflects the number of threads for BAM/CRAM decompression.
