About Pyaesar
This Software Package allows users to take advantage of multi-processing on multiple nodes.
This code is developed as a combination of the multi-process API
and the MPI4Py API (similar to a MAP).
By leveraging the MPI4Py code we can distribute the data across nodes and then generate a
pool on each node to process the data concurrently.
Pyaesar is a combination of MPI4Py and Python Multiprocess. This software package
allows users to take advantage of multi-processing on multiple nodes.
multiprocess is a package from the Python language which supports the spawning of processes
using the standard library. multiprocess has been distributed in the standard
library since Python 2.6.
Features:


An Emperor class makes it easy to submit tasks to a pool of worker
processes.


The Emperor class allows you to distribute the tasks to a set of pools that can be distributed across nodes


Allows for the distribution on Embarrassingly Parallel code processing across Nodes


Any user feedback, bug reports, comments, or suggestions are highly appreciated.
Requirements
Software:

Pre-requisite: MPI
Python module: multiprocess
Python Module: MPI4Py

Program:

1 Process per Node

mpirun -N 1 python name-of-file.py



To Note
Certain implementations of MPI do not support fork(), which the multiprocess library uses to spawn processes on Unix systems.
If fork() is not supported, the MPI runtime will print a warning like the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A process has executed an operation involving a call to the
"fork()" system call to create a child process. Open MPI is currently
operating in a condition that could result in memory corruption or
other system errors; your job may hang, crash, or produce silent
data corruption. The use of fork() (or system() or other calls that
create child processes) is strongly discouraged.

The process that invoked fork was:

Local host: [[4727,3],2] (PID 23933)

If you are *absolutely sure* that your application will successfully
and correctly survive a call to fork(), you may disable this warning
by setting the mpi_warn_on_fork MCA parameter to 0.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you encounter this error, you can avoid using multiprocess by creating an Emperor with only one process:
import Pyaesar.Emperor as Emperor

Em = Emperor(nproc=1)
...

In this case, you may also launch more than one rank per node to increase the parallelism,
although this method is not generally recommended due to the overhead of additional MPI ranks.

How to use

This code is designed to work in the following format:

Node: Rank 0: breaks up the data in multiple sections that are about equally distributable between the set of nodes
Using MPI4Py, each section of data is distributed its associated node
Creates a Multiprocess pool on each node and processes the code



In order to accomplish this you need to ha

Python Module: MPI4Py
