Cylc ("silk") is a workflow engine for cycling systems - it orchestrates distributed suites of interdependent cycling tasks that may continue to run indefinitely.

[](https://travis-ci.org/cylc/cylc) [](https://www.codacy.com/app/Cylc/cylc?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=cylc/cylc&utm_campaign=Badge_Grade) [](https://codecov.io/gh/cylc/cylc) [](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/1836229) [](https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.00737)

Cylc (“silk”) orchestrates complex distributed suites of interdependent cycling (or non-cycling) tasks. It was originally designed to automate environmental forecasting systems at [NIWA](https://www.niwa.co.nz). Cylc is a general workflow engine, however; it is not specialized to forecasting in any way.

### Python 2 or Python 3 ?

Currently in the source code repository:

• master branch: Python 3, ZeroMQ network layer, no GUI - Cylc-8 Work In Progress

• 7.8.x branch: Python 2, Cherrypy network layer, PyGTK GUI - Cylc-7 Maintenance

The first official Cylc-8 release (with a new web UI) is not expected until late 2019. Until then we recommend the latest cylc-7.8 release for production use.
