##################################### RADICAL-Pilot |version| Documentation ##################################### RADICAL-Pilot is a `Pilot Job `_ system written in Python. It allows a user to run large numbers of computational tasks (called ``ComputeUnits``) concurrently on one or more remote ``ComputePilots`` that RADICAL-Pilot can start transparently on a multitude of different distributed resources, like HPC clusters and Clouds. In this model, the resource is acquired by a user's application so that the application can schedule ``ComputeUnits`` into that resource directly, rather than going through the system's job scheduler. In many cases, this can drastically shorten overall exeuction time as the individual ``ComputeUnits`` don't have to wait in the system's scheduler queue but can execute directly on the ``ComputePilots``. **Mailing Lists** * For users: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/radical-pilot-users * For developers: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/radical-pilot-devel ######### Contents: ######### .. toctree:: :numbered: :maxdepth: 2 intro.rst installation.rst machconf.rst datastaging.rst examples/index.rst tutorial/index.rst schedulers.rst testing.rst benchmarks.rst faq.rst developer.rst apidoc.rst release_notes.rst
