Adjusting Snakemake's Maximum File Size for Checksums

Snakemake calculates checksums for input and output files during DAG building to determine if a rule needs to be re-executed. For huge files, computing these checksums can be a significant performance bottleneck, slowing down the DAG generation process. This paper describes the limiting of checksum calculation upon file sizes.

Abstract

Snakemake calculates checksums for input and output files during DAG building to determine if a rule needs to be re-executed. For huge files, computing these checksums can be a significant performance bottleneck, slowing down the DAG generation process. This paper describes the limiting of checksum calculation upon file sizes.
