To perform the simulations and data analyses that drive the nation's research and discovery missions, scientists and engineers regularly need to express and run large and often complex parallel patterns of application codes on one or more parallel computer systems.This project meets this need with Swift/E, a powerful open-source workflow ecosystem.Swift/E integrates the Swift parallel scripting language with tools that play a major role in global cyberinfrastructure: Globus for high-speed data transport; the Galaxy workflow portal for workflow composition and collaboration; Jupyter for workflows development, testing, and assembly; Python and R for expressing high-level workflow logic; and "git" and related services for code revision control and the collaborative engagement of developers.Using Swift/E, scientists and engineers can more productively create and run computational workflow campaigns of larger scale, and debug, execute, adapt, and disseminate them faster and easier.
