SuperPy

Superpy distributes python programs across a cluster of machines or across multiple processors on a single machine. This is a coarse-grained form of parallelism in the sense that remote tasks generally run in separate processes and do not share memory with the caller. Key features of superpy include: * Send tasks to remote servers or to same machine via XML RPC call * GUI to launch, monitor, and kill remote tasks * GUI can automatically launch tasks every day, hour, etc. * Works on the Microsoft Windows operating system o Can run as a windows service o Jobs submitted to windows can run as submitting user or as service user * Inputs/outputs are python objects via python pickle * Pure python implementation * Supports simple load-balancing to send tasks to best servers
