Drona Workflow Engine
Texas A&M has a long history of creating Apps for OpenOnDemand to improve the user experience. In this presentation, we will present two of our latest projects. We will briefly show our new experimental customizable dashboard, where users can manage their resources and interact with the HPRC helpdesk. Next, we will show the Drona workflow engine, a framework for composing and generating custom workflows. Drona abstracts the researcher as much as possible from HPC specifics normally required to run their jobs on our clusters so they can focus on their research. This includes setting up custom environments and automatically selecting resources. A major application is to assist researchers in creating and running their AI workloads on a variety of accelerators.
