Hi <!here>, we are developing our own nextflow pipeline and have one question regarding

peak_rss

in the report.html report. Specifically, we have a process that was requested to run with 20G memory and 16 threads. The process was run successfully, and the report.html shows

peak_rss

as 152G. So we are not sure how the 152G was calculated. We believe the peak memory use for all the applications in this process was less than 20G, and some step use multi-threading. According to nextflow document:

peak_rss

Peak of real memory. This data is read from field

VmHWM

in

/proc/$pid/status

file. Thank you so much for looking at this, any response are appreciated.

Hey, this question is not really related to #CJRH30T6V. As far as I can tell, it's not even related to nf-core, but a general nextflow question. General nextflow questions should better be asked in the seqera community. There is also a nextflow slack, but seqera community is preferred these days. General nf-core questions (related to the nf-core community) should be asked in #CE6SDBX2A or #C043FMKUNLB. The #CJRH30T6V channel is dedicated to topics related to the nf-core modules repository.

Thank you. I’ll post it to the platform as you suggested.
