Package: pbs4py
Descriptionpbs4py is a Python module for automating submission of compute jobs on High Performance
Computing clusters, such as those that use the Portable Batch System (PBS).
It includes pre-configured launchers for common NASA HPC systems: the Langley K cluster
and NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) systems.Examples uses are uncertainty quantification where many jobs are submitted
simultaneously or optimization where sequences of jobs need to scripted.pbs4py also includes scripts for performing tasks associated with PBS jobs
such as a script when given a job number will print the directory from which it was launched
and a script that can delete multiple jobs based on filters.DocumentationDocumentation is hosted using Github PagesThe pbs4py documentation is generated from the source code withSphinx.
Once you have installed pbs4py, the documentation is built by runningmake htmlin the docs directory.
The generated documentation will be indocs/build/html.Installationpbs4py can be installed withpip install pbs4pyQuick StartAfter installation,On the K cluster:frompbs4pyimportPBSpbs=PBS.k4()pbs.requested_number_of_nodes=1pbs.launch(job_name='example_job',job_body=['echo "Hello World"'])On NAS:frompbs4pyimportPBSgroup='a1111'# your project ID to charge herepbs=PBS.nas(group,proc_type='san',queue='devel',time=1)pbs.launch(job_name='example_job',job_body=['echo "Hello World"'])License Notices and DisclaimersNotices:
