Library for development of stage-based scientific workflows
Project description
Introduction
flowws
is an in-development framework for building modular, reusable
task workflows. The core library contains tools to abstract over
storage locations and parse arguments in a uniform way for both python
scripts and command-line-based execution. It is designed to help solve
the following problems:
- Composing tasks from a series of modular actions
- Parameterizing tasks and exposing interfaces for both interactive and batch execution
- Improving reproducibility by encapsulating parameters within workflow definitions
flowws
is being developed in conjunction with other projects, including:
- hoomd-flowws: perform simulations with hoomd-blue.
- flowws-analysis: run analysis and visualization workflows
- flowws-freud: molecular simulation-specific modules for
flowws-analysis
- flowws-examples: example workflows using the above projects
Installation
Install flowws from PyPI:
pip install flowws
