I asked #biostars : "Parabricks : Number of GPUs requested (2) is more than number of GPUs (0) in the system., exiting."

Know what would have been cool? If Broad hadn't broken two thirds of the links in the GATK documentation when they redid the website.

TIL: You can get a list of Spark-enabled GATK tools with the command

gatk --list | grep Spark

(The website doesn't seem to have a list anywhere)

So after much community backlash #GATK has reverted back to the ./. representation for no-calls.

The question is, will something like this occur again? and how many people have already switched away to other tools like #bcftools.

I know I have moved all my pipelines back to bcftools and honestly its brilliant.
