Workflow

A workflow is a set of tasks with dependencies that need to be executed in a specific order for proper handling of exchanging inputs and outputs of data. Workflows typically have two components: data and applications, and workflow tools must decide the granularity at which to map tasks to execution workload units. Workflow steps can map into workloads, e.g.,

workflow -> DAG -> scheduler -> workload

A workflow tool might generate a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of individual tasks that can be handed to a scheduler.
