+# nf-core/configs: uppmax sarek specific configuration
+
+Extra specific configuration for sarek pipeline
+
+## Usage
+
+To use, run the pipeline with `-profile m3c`.
+
+This will download and launch the sarek specific [`m3c.config`](../../../conf/pipeline/sarek/m3c.config) which has been pre-configured with a setup suitable for m3cx clusters.
+
+Example: `nextflow run nf-core/sarek -profile m3c`
+
+## Sarek specific configurations for the M3 cluster
+
+Specific configurations for the M3 Cluster has been made for sarek.
+
+- Runtime for `process_high`:
+  In nf-core/sarek the time is set to `32.h`, that means all jobs are being sent to `cpu3-long` which is not needed and stalls the pipeline.
+  Therefore we set the time to `24.h` and only processes with label `process_long` that need more time will be sent to `cpu3-long`.
