BioCost
Coming soon
trace.tsv → cost report → nextflow.config patch
BioCost is coming soon as a cost and runtime analyzer for computational workflow traces. It will produce process-level breakdowns, ranked recommendations, and deterministic patch artifacts you can review before applying.
Built for platform teams who need to explain spend, prioritize optimizations, and keep a reproducible software artifact trail without mutating live pipelines.
Built for teams that require proof
BioCost is being built to turn noisy trace files into reviewable artifacts. Every recommendation will include a confidence score, estimated savings, and a rationale you can share with finance or procurement.
- Ingest Nextflow trace files and normalize spend across processes, retries, and cached tasks.
- See which processes dominate runtime and cost, not just the final invoice.
- Canonical JSON outputs with stable ordering and verifiable hashes.
- Receipt.json records the exact ingest policy, tool version, and input hashes.
- Recommendations include an estimated savings range and confidence score.
- patch_nextflow emits a diff file you can review in version control before applying.
Part of the Omnis platform
BioCost will fit into the same deterministic rail as Omnis LocusTrace, Omnis Helix, and BioAudit. Cost visibility is just another verifiable software artifact.
Use cases
Built for teams who need cost clarity before scaling pipelines or quoting clients.
Add cost visibility to internal CI/CD without building a custom billing parser.
Understand per-run cost drivers so throughput scaling is predictable.
Generate client-facing cost breakdowns and optimization reports from existing traces.
Developer corner
BioCost is planned as a local-first analyzer. The preview contract is trace in, canonical report out, with hashes and replayable patch artifacts.
$ costopt ingest ./artifacts /tmp/run-001 $ costopt analyze /tmp/run-001 $ costopt report /tmp/run-001 $ costopt patch_nextflow /tmp/run-001 nextflow.config $ costopt verify /tmp/run-001
