Run Specification and Output Locations

The 10x count benchmark WDL (commit ef443f1) was run on the benchmark pbmc8k dataset from 10x. The inputs, metadata, and raw cost information for this run are all available:

Timing and Cost Results:

The 10x pipeline takes approximately 468 cpu hours and costs $244 to run the pbmc8k benchmark dataset, an experiment with 770 million reads spread across 8391 cells. The total wall clock time was 17h52m.

The run time was split across several tasks:

The cost is highly correlated, as most tasks use similar amounts of disk and memory.
