Bug #13681
Updated by Peter Amstutz over 6 years ago
Workbench has the RAM allocation for arvados-cwl-runner jobs hardcoded at 256MB. This is way too stingy (when you run from the command line, the default is 1GB) and users with large collection inputs may need as much as 8GB. When running from workbench, there is no way to set --submit-runner-ram. This should be settable, at minimum when using a-c-r --create-workflow.
Proposed fix:
* Add a "workflow_runner_ram" column to the Workflows table
* When using "a-c-r --create-workflow" or "a-c-r --update-workflow", looks for "--submit-runner-ram" and set "workflow_runner_ram" in the request
* When workbench constructs a container request to run a-c-r, use the value of "workflow_runner_ram" for "--submit-runner-ram" on the a-c-r command line.
