Description:

parasweep 2021.1

parasweep


parasweep is a free and open-source Python utility for facilitating parallel
parameter sweeps with computational models. Instead of requiring parameters to
be passed by command-line, which can be error-prone and time-consuming,
parasweep leverages the model’s existing configuration files using a template
system, requiring minimal code changes. After the sweep values are specified,
a parallel job is dispatched for each parameter set, with support for common
high-performance computing job schedulers. Post-processing is facilitated by
providing a mapping between the parameter sets and the simulations.
The following paper gives a description as well as a simple example to get started: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.03448.pdf. Please cite it if you find parasweep useful for your project!
