Short Bio
Alberto Mulone is a PhD Student at the University of Turin.
He received his Master’s degree with honours in Computer Science at the University of Turin in 2023 with a thesis exposing the porting of a bioinformatics pipeline, called Variants Calling, for hybrid cloud-HPC executions. The main goal of the thesis is to assess hybrid workflows using StreamFlow, a Workflow Management System that implements this paradigm.

abstract = {In large distributed systems, failures are a daily event occurring frequently, especially with growing numbers of computation tasks and locations on which they are deployed. The advantage of representing an application as a workflow is possibility to utilize the Workflow Management Systems which are reliable systems guaranteeing the correct execution of the application and providing the features such as portability, scalability, and fault tolerance. Over recent years, the emergence of hybrid workflows has posed new and intriguing challenges by increasing the possibility of distributing computations involving heterogeneous and independent environments. As a consequence, the number of possible points of failure in the execution augmented, creating different important challenges interesting to study.},

abstract = {In recent years we have understood the importance of analyzing and sequencing human genetic variation. A relevant aspect that emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic was the need to obtain results very quickly; this involved using High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments to execute the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) pipeline. However, HPC is not always the most suitable environment for the entire execution of a pipeline, especially when it involves many heterogeneous tools. The ability to execute parts of the pipeline on different environments can lead to higher performance but also cheaper executions. This work shows the design and optimization process that led us to a state-of-the-art Variant Calling hybrid workflow based on the StreamFlow Workflow Management System (WfMS). We also compare StreamFlow with Snakemake, an established WfMS targeting HPC facilities, observing comparable performance on single environments and satisfactory improvements with a hybrid cloud-HPC configuration.},
