Anyone have advice on how to get the Spades genome assembler to use less memory?

what size genome are you trying to assemble? What kind of memory constraint do you have?

for some data I switch to megahit when spades keeps crashing. Spades has huge ram requirements and I've never had luck trying to reduce it.
