What is scientific workflow
Today’s applications consist of an immense number of interactive tasks. These applications include scientific workflow and big data that are often in the form of enormous datasets in a vast range of scientific domains, such as climate science, bioinformatics, astronomy, and others.
LIGO
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) workflow is used to discover and detect a gravitational wave, regarding the structures of exotic objects such as black holes, the nonlinear dynamics, and the nature of gravity from the astrophysics origin. It is mostly considered a CPU-intensive workflow with high memory consumption.
Montage
NASA developed montage as a portable software toolkit that allows making a mosaic of astronomical images. The input files are in the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) format workflow from astronomical sources. The size of the workflow varies based on the number of images required to build the mosaic. Montage workflow is I/O- and data-intensive workflow.
sRNA identification protocol using high-throughput technologies (SIPHT) is used in bioinformatics science. It uses a workflow to conduct quick searches for sRNA encoding-genes that control processes such as virulence and secretion in bacteria. It is a workflow with high CPU and low I/O utilization.
