Challenge: Test your workflows

In 20 minutes, work on your own workflows to:

  • Specify libraries and tools which need to be “transferred or prepared” for the HPC solution.
  • Experiment with transferring a simple workflow adopting the approach followed in the previous section.
  • Document the tasks which are performed at every stage. This will form the basis of the documentation you will need to provide.
  • Identify questions, issues that need resolving and pain points in the workflow.
