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.
