In this episode of the Channels podcast, we talked about computing resources. Ben Sherman took us through new and upcoming runtime improvements in Nextflow, leading to better performance, fine-tuning, and simpler syntax for pipelines.
We covered:
- Fractional CPU requests (PR #2516)
resourceLimitsdirective (to replacecheck_max) (PR #2911)- Virtual threads in Groovy (PR #3871)
- WebAssembly runtime (a lightweight alternative to containers)
We mentioned a new blog post at the end, entitled “Automating pipeline execution with Nextflow and Tower”.
