Hi all, I came across this channel looking for a way to add GPU usage and tracing in our custom parabricks workflow, and wondering whether has been any new developments since the hackathon? I've had a peek at a few links - is the best repo to keep an eye on? https://github.com/FloWuenne/nextflow/tree/gpu-metrics-record

That's @Florian Wuennemann’s fork of Nextflow

That was a quick poc I did to check how one could add GPU metrics to the trace file. The Nextflow team is ultimately going for a more robust approach. If you wanted to get GPU metrics right now, you could probably write some groovy function that doesn't involve the trace file (because the trace is only accessible from core Nextflow, not plugins or functions I believe).

What kind of metrics are you interested in @Fred Jaya ? %age utilisation?
We've been discussing this recently but @Ben Sherman was of the opinion that %age usage of GPU wasn't very interesting in comparison to CPU (aside from maybe 0 or >0%)
f
Yes mainly peak % utilisation. Admittedly I am new to using GPUs, but we run all of our pipelines on HPC and need a way to check if we're asking for too much/not enough
