Computational Parameter Study Management Tool

Motivation: http://msdresearch.blogspot.com/2012/01/parameter-study-management-with-python.html

Python tools for the mgt. of computational parameter studies.

Features:

• Management of arrays of scripts

• parameter mgt

• Python specific:

  • A base class for analysis of the generated data
  • python dictionary class that stores its data on the f/s

The modules in this repo in general address the following separately:

1. generating and keeping track of simulations

2. programmatic analysis of simulation outputs

3. (The management of program execution is separate but related. In my case I dealt with the PBS resource manager on a cluster computer and made the 'pbsmgr' repo. But since execution environments vary, I did not make an effort to integrate it in this repo as a design decision.)

In the most integrated workflow, 1, 2, and 3 work together. However, with this separation, you can just use 1, (or just use 3,) or 1 and 2, or 1, 2, and 3. #2 is useful if you use Python for your analysis.

Install with just

python setup.py install
