Expedite access to files on a slow network volume
Project description
# hsmfile: a Python module to expedite access to files on a remote data store
## Synopsis
This module addresses the common case where there are large data files on a supercomputer and these are to be processed, maybe on the supercomputer or maybe on local machines that can mount the supercomputer file system. The hsmfile module provides functions to
Specify the file locations in a platform-independent way, given some platform-specific configuration data; and
Copy files automatically as necessary from the supercomputer to the local machines.
It is based on a set of IDL functions with a similar purpose with the prefix [mgh_san](https://github.com/hadfieldnz/idl-roms/tree/master/san).
For more information, see the [documentation on GitHub Pages](https://hadfieldnz.github.io/hsmfile/).
