Release notes

PARALLEL INSTANCE LIMITS AND TASK QUEUING

Individual users on the CGC now have a default usage limit of 80 parallel instances. Seven Bridges sets this upper bound because the number of parallel instances used in total by the CGC Platform is limited by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the CGC’s underlying cloud service provider. While this means that tasks using more than 80 instances can take longer to complete, it also helps ensure that instances are available for all CGC users to run their analyses.

The number of parallel instances used inside a project are limited based on the limits of the user that created the project.

Please contact team@sbgenomics.com for urgent or time sensitive analyses. We will do our best to increase the number of parallel instances available to your organization so you can finish your tasks faster.

For more information please see our documentation on queuing and task statuses.
