Hi,
I am a researcher, and I want to try Nvidia Parabricks toolkit on my system. I have previously executed GATK4 on my system, but now want to try it using GPU. Kindly help me to start with it. System configuration is:
I do not want to run full scale Genome sequence right now. For the time being, I need to familiarise myself with the basics. So, help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately you’re out of luck with a GTX 1660 Ti, or in fact any GeForce card at this stage. You only really have two options as far as I know:
either buy compatible GPUs - so Tesla P100, V100, T4, or I’m assuming the A100 now as well.
using GPU enabled cloud images (i.e. via AWS)
I’m hoping we’ll see Nvidia provide the option for non-Tesla/A100 grade GPUs to be used in the future, especially since the 3000 series that is selling now (or sold out everywhere :-) ) is such a leap in ‘power’. We have a couple of Tesla V100 cards which we use for Parabricks and Nanopore base calling, and I’m very interested to see that the 3080/3090 actually have more CUDA cores than our super expensive server grade cards.
