Documentation for JAWS
The Joint Genome Institute has developed JAWS (JGI Analysis Workflow Service) as a framework to run computational workflows. Its purpose is to improve the re-usability and robustness of workflows in high performance computing (HPC), cluster, and cloud environments.
Summary of JAWS
JAWS should simplify your workflow submissions because it takes care of resource configuration and scheduling.
Before using JAWS, workflows need to be wrapped in the human readable Workflow Description Language (WDL).
JAWS commands can be integrated into larger workflows since everything is CLI based.
