Supported Tools

Parabricks 4.0.0-1 has a significantly reduced set of tools. We are focusing primarily on the following tools:

If you would like access to one or more of the tools that are no longer available, contact us in the developer forum.

WDL/Nextflow Workflows

Parabricks containers are compatible with WDL and NextFlow for building customized workflows, intertwining GPU- and CPU-powered tasks with different compute requirements, and deploying at scale.

These enable workflows to be deployed on cloud batch services as well as local clusters (e.g. SLURM) in a well managed process, pulling from a combination of Clara Parabricks and third-party containers and running these on pre-defined nodes.

For further information on running these workflows, and to see the open-source reference workflows, which can be easily forked/edited, visit the Clara Parabricks Workflows repository. This repository includes recommended instance configurations for deploying the GPU-based tools on cloud and can be easily forked/edited for your own purposes.
