cluster_tools 0.1

Utility library for easily distributing code execution on clusters

# Cluster Tools

[](https://circleci.com/gh/scalableminds/cluster_tools/tree/master)

This package provides python `Executor` classes for distributing tasks on a slurm cluster or via multi processing.


## Example

```python
import cluster_tools

def square(n):
return n * n

if __name__ == '__main__':
strategy = "slurm" # other valid values are "multiprocessing" and "sequential"
with cluster_tools.get_executor(strategy) as executor:
result = list(executor.map(square, [2, 3, 4]))
assert result == [4, 9, 16]
```
