BeeFlow: A Workflow Management System for in Situ Processing Across HPC and Cloud Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we propose BeeFlow - an in situ analysis enabled workflow management system across multiple platforms using Docker containers. BeeFlow can support both traditional workflows as well as workflows with in situ analysis. BeeFlow leverages Docker containers to provide a portable, flexible, and reproducible workflow management system across HPC and cloud platforms. We showcase how current in situ visualization workflows can apply BeeFlow with DOE production codes VPIC and Flecsale.
