Croupier, an user-centric meta-orchestrator for cross-platform workflow delivery and execution

The orchestration of complex application workflows executed in the context of High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures requires the joint collaboration of application designers/developers, HPC engineers and application consumers (i.e. end-users). In the context of HPC, complex workflows can be executed with either HPC schedulers (e.g. Slurm), workflow managers (e.g. PyCOMPSs, NextFlow), with meta-orchestrators (e.g. Croupier) or with a combination of them. While schedulers and workflow managers are restricted to execute applications within a single HPC cluster, Croupier supports cross-platform application delivery, execution, monitoring and data management.

In this webinar, we will introduce Croupier from the application designers and consumers perspective, and the use of Croupier, with a demo on how to deploy, execute and monitor one of the PerMedCoE use case applications.

Who is this course for?

This webinar is part ofPerMedCoEwebinar series and is open for anyone interested inPerMedCoE products and developments, as well as for application designers/developers, application consumers (end-users), HPC engineers, and workflow engineers.

The goal of PerMedCoE is to provide an efficient and sustainable entry point to the HPC/Exascale-upgraded methodology to translate omics analyses into actionable models of cellular functions of medical relevance.

Outcomes

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

• Describe the advantages of Croupier as a meta-orchestrator for cross-platform application workflows
