Pre-Work: Building Computational Workflows

Data Deep Dive | March 11 | 12-2pm

Why This Matters

This Deep Dive includes a live demonstration, if you would like to follow-along submission of a WDL workflows on Hutch infrastructure. Completing the setup below ensures you can fully participate without spending session time troubleshooting access.

⏱ Estimated time: 10–15 minutes

✅ Required (For Full Participation)

1️⃣ Confirm Cluster Access

  • Ensure you have cluster credentials set up with SciComp (go here for more details)
  • Test that you can log in by going to the terminal and typing: ssh <your_hutch_username>@rhino.fredhutch.org (more details here on how to test your credentials)
  • If you do not have access, contact SciComp before the session:

2️⃣ Log into PROOF Workbench Once

  • Visit the PROOF Workbench interface at:https://pwb.fredhutch.org/
  • Log in using your Hutch credentials (go here to read more about PROOF Workbench)
  • Confirm you can access the dashboard
  • (Optional) Start a Server (go here for instructions)
  • You do not need to submit anything yet — just verify access.

3️⃣ Download the Demo Workflows (Optional but Helpful)

  • We will use a small example WDL during the session.
  • Download the demo WDLs (download all the files inside the wdls folder here)

🔎 Optional (Helpful Background)

🆘 If You Get Stuck

  • Do not debug alone.
  • Post in Slack: #workflow-managers
  • Email: datascience@fredhutch.org

We would much rather help you beforehand than during the session.
