Spectio

Launch, monitor and relaunch your Nextflow and Snakemake runs, on your own cluster.

Open-source run manager for HPC and Kubernetes. Add quality checks between stages only where you want them. Part of the depictio platform.

How it works Roadmap

Design phase · nothing to install yet · first release planned as 0.1

A run with an optional QC gate: it stops, someone reviews it, it resumes from the cache. The screens are the current design.

Works with

Workflow engines

Nextflow Snakemake

CWL and WDL later

Pipeline catalogs

nf-core Snakemake Workflow Catalog

or your own Git repository

Where runs execute

SLURM (HPC) Kubernetes

or a single machine

Where results go

depictio dashboards

How it works

1

Launch

Pick a pipeline, fill its parameters from the pipeline's own schema, choose where it runs, and say where it should stop for a check.

2

Watch

Every run in one place: its stages, its tasks and samples, its logs, and what the cluster is doing with it.

Fix and relaunch

When a task fails, Spectio says why (out of memory, out of time, a tool error, a node lost) and what to change. Relaunch with the change; finished work comes back from the cache.

Every run in one table, with its stage and status

Results and dashboards

Outputs, reports and logs stay attached to the run. Finished results can go to depictio as dashboards, with the same users and groups.

The overview page with runs, gates and environments

Optional: quality checks between stages. For pipelines where a bad sample should not reach the expensive stage, add a gate: the run stops after a stage, someone looks at the QC evidence, from a desk or a phone, and the run resumes from the cache. Pipelines without gates run straight through. How gates work
