 The `nextflow.config` file does not exist by default, so you will have to create it if needed. This is not mandatory, except if you have defined optional parameters with `task.ext` and want to alter their values for some test cases. Refer to [this section](#defining-optional-input-parameters) to
 see how to scope those parameters to specific tests using `selectors`.

+### Request for more test resources
+
+Test runners are tailored to restrain their resources usage to specifically what is asked for by
+Nextflow through the configuration files. For `nf-neuro` tests, you can find this configuration in
+`tests/config/nextflow.config`. If any of your tests ask for more, you need to define it correctly.

+
+First, resource requirements need to be defined in the `nextflow.config` file(s) of your test
+cases. Add the `process.cpu` and `process.memory` and set their requirements as needed :
+
+```
+process.memory = '9G'
+process.cpus = 6
+```
+
+or
+
+```
+process {
+  memory = '10G'
+  cpus = 6
+}
+```
+
+To allow test runners on your PR to run with sufficient resources, you'll need to specify to which
+class of runners to assign to. To do so, edit `.github/workflows/run_checks_suite.yml`. Find the
+`matrix` definition for the `nf-test` job (currently around `line 133`) and add the following
+request for a runner in the `include` section :
+
+```
+- runner: <name-of-the-runner-class>
+  path: modules/nf-neuro/<category>/<tool>
+```
+
+Available runner classes that superseed `default` :
+
+| Runner Class                   | Resources                               |
+| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
+| (default)                      | <ul><li>4 CPU</li><li>4Gb RAM</li></ul> |
+| scilus-nf-neuro-bigmem-runners | <ul><li>16Gb RAM</li></ul>              |
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Specialized runners are limited !!! They are allocated for hungry processes, such as **AI/ML** models and **large dataset studies**, don't abuse them. _The more they are requested for, the longer PR take to merge_, so don't ask for them for nothing, meaning be smart in designing your modules ! **PRs deemed not needing them will be automatically closed.**

 ## Lint your code
 
 Before submitting to _nf-neuro_, once you've commit and push everything, the code need to be correctly linted, else the checks won't pass. This is done using `prettier` and `editorconfig-checker` on your new module, through the _nf-core_ command line :
