Pilot Workflows

The Pilot workflows refer to the particular run mode that the Pilot should use. This includes the Standard workflow and HPC Pilot workflow. The desired workflow is selected by the wrapper script that launches the Pilot, using option -w workflow (e.g. generic_hpc; default: generic) and it determines how the jobs will be processed by selecting the corresponding Pilot module. For the HPC Pilot workflow, the HPC resource name needs to be specified using option --hpc-resource resource_name (e.g. titan).

The Standard and HPC Pilot workflows are explained in the following sections.
