How to have more cpus or gpu?

The nf-core/pipeline always stopped due to the limitation of CPUs. What should I do? The pipeline was created with Google Cloud Batch.

Hi @marvin_li

Either you pick a VM with more CPUs in Google Cloud or you change the pipeline settings to require less CPUs. For example, check the conf/base.config snippet below:

withLabel:process_high {
        cpus   = { 12    * task.attempt }
        memory = { 72.GB * task.attempt }
        time   = { 16.h  * task.attempt }
    }

If you only have 4 CPUs available in your machine, you’d change from 12 * task.attempt to 4 in this snippet. Do the necessary alterations for the other directives too.
