Comet parameter: spectrum_batch_size
- When this parameter is set to a non-zero value, say 5000, this causes Comet
to load and search about 5000 spectra at a time, looping through sets of 5000
spectra until all data have been analyzed.
- This parameter was implemented to simplify searching large datasets that
might not fit into memory if searched all at once.
- The loaded batch sizes might be a little larger than the specified parameter
value (i.e. 5014 spectra loaded when the parameter is set to 5000) due to both
threading and potential charge state considerations when precursor charge state
is not known.
- Valid values are 0 or any positive integer:
- 0 to load and search all spectra at once
- any other positive integer will loop through searching this number of
spectra at a time until all spectra have been analyzed
Example:
spectrum_batch_size = 0
spectrum_batch_size = 1000
spectrum_batch_size = 5000
