I am interested in using Caliban to manage jobs no HPC systems. These typically have a job manager such as Slurm, and are accessed via ssh instead of a web API. Instead of Docker, they provide e.g. Singularity.
This draft pull request is a proof of concept to demonstrate the mechanics of using ssh, Slurm, and Singularity. The code is not yet well structured, and several constants are hard-wired in for our in-house HPC system "Symmetry". At the moment, I am looking for a discussion which functions dealing with Docker images (
docker
) and/or clusters (platform/cluster
) should be generalized, and which should be rewritten inplatform/slurm
.I can use this branch to submit code to our HPC system. Other cluster functionality is still missing.
