If your CWL 1.0 app description contains only the **-Min** or the **-Max** value, the Seven Bridges execution environment will use the specified value as the number of cores or amount of RAM required for execution. If both the **-Min** and the **-Max** value are specified, the execution will ignore the **-Max** value and provide enough resources to accommodate the **-Min** requirement, in order to provide consistency in execution of apps described using either sbg:draft-2 or 1.0 version of CWL. Finally, if **sbg:CPURequirement** or **sbg:MemRequirement** are evaluated along with the corresponding CWL 1.0 **-Min** requirements (**coresMin** or **ramMin**), the execution will use the higher of these two values as the required number of cores or amount of RAM.\n\nDisk space requirements introduced in CWL 1.0 (**tmpdirMin** / **tmpdirMax** and **outdirMin** / **outdirMax**) are unfortunately not currently supported by the CGC.","updates":[],"order":12,"isReference":false,"hidden":false,"sync_unique":"","link_url":"","link_external":false,"_id":"586d3da9cd6e243900cfdd61","version":{"version":"1.0","version_clean":"1.0.0","codename":"","is_stable":true,"is_beta":true,"is_hidden":false,"is_deprecated":false,"categories":["55faf11ca62ba1170021a9ab","55faf8f4d0e22017005b8272","55faf91aa62ba1170021a9b5","55faf929a8a7770d00c2c0bd","55faf932a8a7770d00c2c0bf","55faf94b17b9d00d00969f47","55faf958d0e22017005b8274","55faf95fa8a7770d00c2c0c0","55faf96917b9d00d00969f48","55faf970a8a7770d00c2c0c1","55faf98c825d5f19001fa3a6","55faf99aa62ba1170021a9b8","55faf99fa62ba1170021a9b9","55faf9aa17b9d00d00969f49","55faf9b6a8a7770d00c2c0c3","55faf9bda62ba1170021a9ba","5604570090ee490d00440551","5637e8b2fbe1c50d008cb078","5649bb624fa1460d00780add","5671974d1b6b730d008b4823","5671979d60c8e70d006c9760","568e8eef70ca1f0d0035808e","56d0a2081ecc471500f1795e","56d4a0adde40c70b00823ea3","56d96b03dd90610b00270849","56fbb83d8f21c817002af880","573c811bee2b3b2200422be1","576bc92afb62dd20001cda85","5771811e27a5c20e00030dcd","5785191af3a10c0e009b75b0","57bdf84d5d48411900cd8dc0","57ff5c5dc135231700aed806","5804caf792398f0f00e77521","58458b4fba4f1c0f009692bb","586d3c287c6b5b2300c05055","58ef66d88646742f009a0216","58f5d52d7891630f00fe4e77","59a555bccdbd85001bfb1442","5a2a81f688574d001e9934f5","5b080c8d7833b20003ddbb6f","5c222bed4bc358002f21459a","5c22412594a2a5005cc9e919","5c41ae1c33592700190a291e","5c8a525e2ba7b2003f9b153c","5cbf14d58c79c700ef2b502e","5db6f03a6e187c006f667fa4","5f894c7d3b0894006477ca01"],"_id":"55faf11ba62ba1170021a9aa","releaseDate":"2015-09-17T16:58:03.490Z","createdAt":"2015-09-17T16:58:03.490Z","project":"55faf11ba62ba1170021a9a7","__v":47},"githubsync":"","parentDoc":null,"project":"55faf11ba62ba1170021a9a7","__v":0,"user":"575e85ac41c8ba0e00259a44","category":{"sync":{"isSync":false,"url":""},"pages":[],"title":"TASK EXECUTION","slug":"task-execution","order":22,"from_sync":false,"reference":false,"_id":"586d3c287c6b5b2300c05055","version":"55faf11ba62ba1170021a9aa","__v":0,"project":"55faf11ba62ba1170021a9a7","createdAt":"2017-01-04T18:17:12.683Z"},"createdAt":"2017-01-04T18:23:37.290Z"}
