* Package name : ppft Version : 1.7.6.7+dfsg Upstream Contact: Mike McKerns <mmckerns at uqfoundation dot org> * URL : https://github.com/uqfoundation/ppft * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: Python Description : Distributed and parallel Python ppft is a friendly fork of Parallel Python. It provides: . * parallel execution of Python code on SMP and clusters * easy-to-understand job-based parallelization * automatic detection of the number of effective processors * dynamic processor allocation (at runtime) * low overhead for jobs with the same function (through transparent caching) * dynamic load balancing (jobs are distributed at runtime) * fault-tolerance (if a node fails, tasks are rescheduled on the others) * auto-discovery of computational resources * dynamic allocation of computational resources * SHA based authentication for network connections * enhanced serialization, using dill.source . ppft is part of pathos, a Python framework for heterogeneous computing. It is a dependency of pathos, which is a useful framework that I've started using. I will maintain it within the Debian Python Team.
