batchtools: Tools for Computation on Batch Systems
As a successor of the packages 'BatchJobs' and 'BatchExperiments', this package provides a parallel implementation of the Map function for high performance computing systems managed by schedulers 'IBM Spectrum LSF' (<https://www.ibm.com/products/hpc-workload-management>), 'Univa Grid Engine'/'Oracle Grid Engine' (<https://altair.com/hpc-cloud-applications/>), 'Slurm' (<https://slurm.schedmd.com/>), 'TORQUE/PBS' (<https://adaptivecomputing.com/cherry-services/torque-resource-manager/>), or 'Docker Swarm' (<https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/>). A multicore and socket mode allow the parallelization on a local machines, and multiple machines can be hooked up via SSH to create a makeshift cluster. Moreover, the package provides an abstraction mechanism to define large-scale computer experiments in a well-organized and reproducible way.
