by on October 31, 2018 with No Comments

We are pleased to announce release of Pegasus 4.9.0

Pegasus 4.9.0 is be a major release of Pegasus. Highlights of new features:

  • Integrity Checking – Pegasus now performs integrity checking on files in a workflow for non shared filesystem deployments. More details can be found in the documentation at https://pegasus.isi.edu/documentation/integrity_checking.php . This work is the result of the Scientific Workflow Integration with Pegasus project (NSF awards 1642070, 1642053, and 1642090). More information on SWIP is available at https://cacr.iu.edu/projects/swip/
  • AWS Batch –  Pegasus now provides a way to execute horizontally clustered jobs on Amazon AWS Batch Service using a new command line tool pegasus-aws-batch. In other words, you can get Pegasus to cluster each level of your workflow into a bag of tasks and run those clustered jobs on Amazon Cloud using AWS Batch Service. InMore details can be found in documentation at https://pegasus.isi.edu/docs/4.9.0/aws-batch.php .
  • Pegasus Tutorial With Containers – We have a version of the tutorial for prospective new users to try out at  https://pegasus.isi.edu/tutorial/isi/ . This tutorial walks through users on how to bundle their application code in containers and use them for execution with Pegasus.

The release can be downloaded from
https://pegasus.isi.edu/downloads

Please note that the Perl DAX API is deprecated starting 4.9.0 Release and will be removed in the 5.0 Release.
