318 open workflow execution instances
Workflow instances are widely used to profile and characterize workflow executions, and to build distributions of workflow execution behaviors, which are used to evaluate methods and techniques in simulation or in real conditions.
WfInstances collects and curates open access production workflow executions from various scientific applications, shared in the common WfFormat instance format. The WfCommons Python package provides tools for analyzing instances, which can be used to develop workflow recipes for WfGen.

Open access instance repositories
Instances are organized by workflow system. Each sub-folder is a workflow application containing
executions on different computing platforms, with a README.md that describes the
workflow structure and points to relevant material.
We are always looking for additional workflow execution instances to refine existing recipes or develop new ones. Have instances to share? Contact support@wfcommons.org.
