Colab
Hi everyone I am trying to run Megahit genome assembler in google colab, I have chosen the option GPU and successfully installed megahit.
!./megahit -1 /content/drive/MyDrive/Megahit/AST2_R1_M75_Paired_end.fastq.gz -2 /content/drive/MyDrive/Megahit/AST2_R2_M75_Paired_end.fastq.gz --use-gpu -o AST2_kmin21
But I got an error --use-GPU is deprecated!
How to activate or use GPU.
Thank you for your comment and time.

The option --use-GPU is deprecated because it doesn't provide a significant speedup compared to running a program on many threads. That's what the authors concluded after their own testing.

Guess the version of
megahityou installed either no longer supports this option or you are not calling the right command line parameter.Using
colabfor genome assembly sounds like a far fetched use case.Thank you
