Today, I received a 1 month trial account of parabricks and was happy to test it out. My computer’s specs are
Main Memory: 256 GB
Graphic cards: NVIDIA RTX 3070 (8GB GPU memory) x2
But when I ran fq2bam,
Not enough available memory for these GPUs…
It stops with this error message.
I checked again and found that among the minimum hardware requirements
GPU memory is 12GB or more.
Isn’t this too much of a minimum requirement?
Does the Parabricks team have any plans to relax this minimum requirement?
I agree with @hermes2014, I stumbled upon the same issue, using HaplotypeCaller option.
I have the exact same problem, using the exact same card.
But as said 12Gb GPU seems hard-to-reach requirements. Is this really needed from the tools?
Seems that there could be a “buffer-size” option to store less reads in memory, or for smaller genomes (I’m working with small non-human genomes).
I ran into the exact same issue here. And the situation is confusing:
(1). When I tried using an RTX 3080 Ti with 12043 MB available memory, Parabricks refuses to run, indicating “not enough free memory for these GPUS”.
(2). However, when I replaced the RTX 3080 Ti with an RTX 3060, with the exact same amount of memory, Parabricks runs without any problem.
I would love to know what could possibly be the problem? Is it really a memory capacity issue?
