From the TaKaRa manual page:

Cogent NGS Analysis Pipeline (CogentAP) is bioinformatic software for analyzing RNA-seq NGS data generated using the following systems or kits:

ICELL8 cx Single-Cell System or the ICELL8 Single-Cell System on the single-cell full-length transcriptome (SMART-Seq ICELL8 workflow)

ICELL8 cx Single-Cell System or the ICELL8 Single-Cell System on the single-cell differential expression (3′ DE or 5′ DE) workflows (ICELL8 3′ DE or ICELL8 TCR)

SMARTer Stranded Total RNA-Seq Kit v3 - Pico Input Mammalian

The program takes input data from sequencing and outputs an HTML report, with results typical to single-cell analysis, plus other files, such as a gene matrix, to continue further analysis. R data object with pre-computed results based on recommended parameters are also output. Either the standard output files or the R data object can serve as input for Cogent NGS Discovery Software (CogentDS), another bioinformatic software package provided by Takara Bio. CogentAP software is written in Python and can be run either via a GUI or command-line interface.

Note that for analyze the --threads and --cores are multiplicative. So threads * cores should equal the number of allocated CPUs. In our examples we use the default cores setting of 1 which means threads = $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK. If you increase cores to 2 threads should be reduced to half the allocated CPUs.
