Specify max memory limit

[POMulhair]

Hello,

I am hoping to run fastOMA on a dataset of 384 proteomes on a server with 72 cpus and 756Gb RAM.

When I tried to run it initially (using the line below) it maxed out the server (which was using ~200Gb on other jobs) when running the omamer search step: nextflow run FastOMA/FastOMA.nf --input_folder input_folder --output_folder fastoma_output --report -profile standard

I know there's memory limits set in the config file but I'm not familiar with nextflow so am not certain on how to edit this. Question: Is there a way either in the command or by editing the config or nf file that I could set a limit on RAM usage?

Apologies if this is a trivial question, I thought it may also be useful for other. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Peter
