Welcome to the InPUT wiki!

InPUT stands for Intelligent Parameter Utilization Tool. It is a proposal for a human and computer readable documentation of computer experiments. InPUT already provides a lot of features, and the ambition is to document them all in this wiki. If you want to know more about what InPUT offers and how it functions, read the Motivation section.

As of today, the following user help exists:
