I am using the Seqera platform to run the RNAseq pipeline, and I have already built the computer environments based on Google Cloud Batch. However, I never succeeded in running the pipeline due to the limitations of CPUs. I’m not sure if Google only allows the use of up to 4 CPUs or if I can set up something else, as I already require a quote upgrade. When the pipeline is running, the Google computer engine shows it has 32 CPUs, but only 4 are used. I’m not sure if it is a Google Cloud issue or a Seqera platform issue.
Hi marvin_li,
You may want to consider leveraging Google Cloud’s Batch service for scalable, automated job processing, especially if you’re handling data-intensive workflows like genomics, simulations, or AI. It simplifies job orchestration, dynamically allocates resources, and integrates smoothly with engines like Nextflow, making it a powerful choice for cloud-based computation.
Thanks for your advice! I am trying the Google Batch now.
