This module provides a Python concurrent.futures executor that lets you run functions on remote systems in your Condor or Slurm cluster. Stop worrying about writing job files, scattering/gathering, and serialization---this module does it all for you.
It uses PiCloud's advanced pickler to even allow (most) closures to be used transparently, so you're not limited to "pure" functions.
Depends on concurrent.futures
and cloud
, so just run pip install
futures cloud
to get up and running.
See example_*.py
for example usage. The easiest way to get started is to
ignore the fact that futures are being used at all and just use the provided
map
function, which behaves like itertools.imap but transparently
distributes your work across the cluster.
