cylc-flow 8.0b1

A workflow engine for cycling systems

Cylc (pronounced silk) is a general purpose workflow engine that specialises in cycling workflows and has strong scaling characteristics.

Cylc was originally developed to meet the challenges of production weather forecasting - which is notorious for the size and complexity of its workflows.
