Version 1 of CIP - calculations in parallel

Arjen Markus (7 january 2023) The break during the holiday season allowed me to pick up an old project again: a way to define a bunch of calculations and have them run partly simultaneously and partly sequentially, so that you use the computing resources efficiently. The main steering program was complete and even documented, but I thought it would be nice to have some more supporting programs:

  • A program to prepare the input files based on a simple table
  • A program to report on the variations
  • Various modes for the first program that the reporting program should act upon

Well, I was able to finish a lot of what I had in mind with the exception of the additional documentation. So, this page is mostly a placeholder :) at this moment. But I wanted to publish it now.

saito (6 january 2023) Sounds interesting. I can see how it relates to some of the previous comments on the Tasks page. It might be helpful to show a specific use case where this is used to solve a problem for you. Not necessarily the code you have developed but its usage, as in: calculation-a does this, calculation-b does this, this is how they are related and/or how they vary, and here is how they should all fit together, using your terminology above.
