Specify accelerator in config

[r0f1]

Hi, I'd like to move the accelerator specification from the process definition in my .nf file to the config file. Is that possible? I would like to write something like this in my nextflow.config file:

// nextflow.config
process {
    executor = 'google-lifesciences'
    container = '...'
    accelerator 1, type: 'nvidia-tesla-t4'
}

Hi,

You need to express it as Map, therefore

process {
    executor = 'google-lifesciences'
    container = '...'
    accelerator  = [request: 1, type: 'nvidia-tesla-t4']
}

Have a look at the code for details

It should be fixed in documentation then. https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/process.html#accelerator
