ProActive Workflows & Scheduling

ProActive Workflows & Scheduling: Open Source Workflow Management

An open source workflow management and scheduling system for distributed computing, allowing users to build, run and monitor workflows with dependencies across large-scale infrastructures.

What is ProActive Workflows & Scheduling?

ProActive Workflows & Scheduling is an open source Java library for workflow management and scheduling of distributed computing jobs. It allows users to visually design workflows made up of multiple computing tasks with dependencies, and then execute them on distributed infrastructure like clusters, clouds, grids etc.

Key features of ProActive Workflows & Scheduling include:

• Graphical workflow designer to build workflows with different types of tasks
• Support for major distributed computing infrastructures like OpenStack, Amazon EC2, SGE, Torque, SLURM etc.
• Scalability to execute workflows with tens of thousands of tasks
• Fault tolerance mechanisms for resilient execution
• Monitoring and control of workflow execution in real-time
• Integration with Linux container technologies like Docker
• APIs for programmatic creation and management of workflows

ProActive Workflows & Scheduling promotes a serverless approach to workflow execution, using decentralized scheduling for scalability. It can be a good open source alternative to proprietary workflow systems in domains like scientific computing, data analytics, enterprise applications etc.
