摘要

A practical comparative analysis of two workflow management systems is presented: the Galaxy cloud platform and cwltool—a reference Common Workflow Language implementation. Using high-speed imaging of droplet dynamics as a benchmark application, we demonstrate that while both platforms successfully process large-scale image datasets (thousands of frames per experiment), they differ significantly in nonfunctional properties critical for platform selection. The Galaxy platform provides an integrated cloud-based collaborative environment with resource management and visual workflow composition, while cwltool demonstrates superior computational efficiency (2x faster average processing time) on identical hardware configuration.
