If you are looking for a simple python program to log cpu% and memory of another executable, then analyze.py might do. Its in https://github.com/Public-Health-Bioinformatics/kipper/tree/master/RDP-test -case along with a few scripts that show examples of its use.

Hi there
We're researching the resource (CPU time and memory) requirements for RNA STAR at the moment. Specifically, we'd like to build up a database of input size to resource usage so that we can use this to feed a dynamic destination mapper (currently our STAR configuration uses a thumbsuck for RAM and CPU requirements that is not optimal but works in many cases).
Has anyone collected these metrics before? And more generally, is anyone collecting metrics for a range of bioinformatics tools? A database like this could be very useful!
Thanks! Peter
