Project Description

Solar is a program that automates submission of jobs to Slurm, a Supercomputer queueing system. Solar is a program written in Python that automatically generates more Python code from a simple configuration text file. This makes Solar very useful to those who need to submit many jobs to a Supercomputer and those with limited coding experience. Additionally, Solar also takes away the hassle of manually having to change each job's parameters before submission to a Supercomputer. Solar makes use of Slurm for job submissions to our Supercomputer but can be easily adapted to your choice of queueing system.
