Abstract

Lightning talks of the Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science (WORKS) workshop are a venue where the workflow community (researchers, developers, and users) can discuss work in progress, emerging technologies and frameworks, and training and education materials. This paper summarizes the WORKS 2021 lightning talks, which cover four broad topics: (i) libEnsemble, a Python library to coordinate the concurrent evaluation of dynamic ensembles of calculations; (ii) Edu WRENCH, a set of online pedagogic modules that provides simulation-driven hands-on activity in the browser; (iii) VisDict, an envisioned visual dictionary framework that will translate terms, jargon, and concepts between research domains and workflow providers; and (iv) Pegasus Kickstart, a lightweight tool for capturing workflow tasks' performance, including performance metrics from Nvidia GPUs.
