Runtime attributes can be configured within a WDL's task block, but if no value is specified for any one of the customizable attributes, your task will run with the default runtime attribute value. The chart below shows the defaults for each runtime attribute, and how to customize to a value of your choice.
For more information on runtime attributes, please see Cromwell's Runtime Attribute Descriptions documentation.
Terra supports the following CPU platforms:
- Intel Cascade Lake (n2)
- Intel Skylake (n1)
- Intel Broadwell (n1)
- Intel Haswell (n1)
- Intel Ivy Bridge (n1)
- Intel Sandy Bridge (n1)
- AMD Rome (n2d)
Terra requests a custom Google virtual machine (VM) based on your specification. Please see the notes for CPU and memory to learn how Google interprets your resource request. See Google's documentation for more information about their machine families and rules for custom machines.

Google Cloud interprets this as the minimum amount of memory to use. If you request more CPUs than makes sense for your memory request, Google automatically bumps up to the appropriate amount of memory. Example: You cannot request 8 CPUs and 1 GB memory, since each CPU needs between 1-6.5 GB of memory. |
