Description

bfoster built a Runner framework in wengine that we will port over in this issue. Basically what it allows is a flexible interface for dispatching WorkflowTasks to resources (compute nodes, clouds, grids, laptops, etc.) to run on. One runner will allow native integration with the resource manager, and another runner set will provide both synchronous and asynchronous local execution.
