  The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) Task Execution Service
(TES) API is a standardized schema and API for describing and executing batch
execution tasks. It provides a common way to submit and manage tasks to a
variety of compute environments, including on premise High Performance Compute
and High Throughput Computing (HPC/HTC) systems, Cloud computing platforms, and
hybrid environments. The TES API is designed to be flexible and extensible,
allowing it to be adapted to a wide range of use cases, such as "bringing
compute to the data" solutions for federated and distributed data analysis or
load balancing across multi cloud infrastructures. This API has been adopted by
a number of different service providers and utilized by several workflow
engines. Using its capabilities, genomes research institutes are building
hybrid compute systems to study life science.
