Can Parabricks run on the Jetson AGX Xavier 64GB?

Healthcare & Life Sciences Parabricks

I wonder if it is possible to run Parabricks on a Jetson AGX Xavier. I am aware that it is aarch64, but the memory available to the GPU cores is practically all free RAM on the system.

Has anyone given it a try? We have several jetson units in the lab. It would ge a good development and prototyping system. Performance is secondary at this point.

Hey @juergen.hench,

To my knowledge no one has tried it, but I’d be curious to see if it works!

Hi,
It is an old thread. Do you have any update about this issue?

Hi.

I don’t have any update on this. It would be nice but meanwhile we found our workarounds by using tools that can be compiled on the Jetson and utilize the GPU (independently of parabricks). Have a look at mm2-gb (minimap2 with GPU support) on GitHub. It works well on the Jetson ORIN AGX.

Best
