Running Workflows on HPC

NCI Gadi

Before you can execute workflows on Tower on Gadi, you will first need to run the tower agent. Navigate to the previously set up tower-nf directory on the command line and run the agent, for example: 

cd /g/data/nci_project/tower/tower-nf 
bash run_tower_agent_pbs.sh

Back at the tower interface: 1. Navigate to the launchpad 2. Select the launch button for the desired pipeline 3. Provide parameters and input files as required 4. Select launch when ready

Alternatively, run the pipeline on the command line and monitor on Tower:

Pawsey Setonix

Before you can execute workflows on Tower on Setonix, you will first need to run the tower agent.  Navigate to the previously set up tower-nf directory on the command line and run the agent: 

cd \$MYSOFTWARE
bash run_tower_agent_slurm.sh

Back at the tower interface, navigate to your launchpad and launch the workflow, same as above.

Once you’ve launched a pipeline run, you can monitor its execution in the Runs tab on the top menu bar. See the Nextflow Tower documentation for more details on how to use this feature.
