how fast it is to convert from pod5 to fast5.

[Flower9618]

Hi, thank you so much for sharing this tool and detailed document.

I would like to know how fast it is to convert from pod5 to fast5. For promethION data, there are a lot of .fast5 files, meybe 20 millions reads , if I transfer these files into .pod5, how long does it take? And, can I use multiple cpu core to do it?

Thank you so much!

Hi @Flower9618 ,

This will depend pretty heavily on the resources of the system you run the conversion on.

The default converter does use multiple threads, so should run relatively quickly. I can't really say more without more info about your data set

Thanks,
