Toil is a scalable, efficient, cross-platform (Linux & macOS) pipeline management system, written entirely in Python, and designed around the principles of functional programming. It supports running workflows written in either Common Workflow Language (CWL) 1.0-1.2 or Workflow Description Language (WDL) 1.0-1.1, as well as having its own rich Python API for writing workflows against. It supports running workflows locally on your system (e.g. a laptop), on an HPC cluster, or in the cloud.
