fasthep-flow

fasthep-flow provides the core FAST-HEP workflow language and execution engine.

It is responsible for:

workflow compilation
execution planning
runtime orchestration
registry/profile loading
backend interfaces
artifact lifecycle management

The Python import namespace is:

import hepflow

Scope

fasthep-flow is intentionally lightweight and domain-agnostic.

It does not implement:

ROOT IO
histogram filling
HEP-specific transforms
plotting/rendering
experiment-specific analysis logic

Those capabilities are provided by companion FAST-HEP packages.

Recommended companion packages

For High Energy Physics (HEP) workflows, most users will also want:

fasthep-carpenter
- HEP analysis transforms
- ROOT/awkward sources and writers
- histogramming
- cutflows
- object reconstruction helpers
fasthep-curator
- dataset inspection
- schema snapshots
- diagnostics
- runtime hooks
fasthep-render
- plotting
- tables
- reports
- render styles
fasthep-cli
- the fasthep command-line interface

Alternatively, install the meta package:

pip install fasthep

Installation

Core workflow package only:

pip install fasthep-flow

Development environment:

pixi install
pixi run ci

Minimal example

from hepflow.api import compile_workflow_file, run_workflow_file

compile_workflow_file(
    "analysis/workflow.yaml",
    work_dir="build/example",
)

run_workflow_file(
    "analysis/workflow.yaml",
    outdir="build/example",
)

Design principles

fasthep-flow focuses on:

small and composable interfaces
explicit workflow compilation stages
registry-driven extensibility
backend-independent execution planning
reproducible workflow artifacts
minimal domain assumptions

The long-term goal is to make the workflow layer reusable beyond High Energy Physics.

Contributing

Contribution guidelines, development setup, and project-wide documentation are maintained centrally in the main FAST-HEP repository.

Legacy branch

The pre-split prototype implementation is preserved in the legacy branch.

The new main branch contains the split-package architecture.

Status

FAST-HEP is currently in active pre-alpha development.

Interfaces may still evolve rapidly while the package split and stabilization work continues.
