PSI/J - Python

Portable Submission Interface for Jobs

A Python abstraction layer over cluster schedulers

Write Scheduler Agnostic HPC Applications

Use a unified API to run your HPC application virtually anywhere. Tested on a wide variety of clusters, PSI/J automatically translates abstract job specifications into concrete scripts and commands to send to the scheduler.

PSI/J runs entirely in user space

There is no need to wait for infrequent deployment cycles. The HPC world can be rather dynamic and the ability to quickly react to experimental changes in cluster environments is essential.

Use built-in or community contributed plugins

It is virtually impossible for a single entity to provide stable and tested adapters to all clusters and schedulers. That is why PSI/J enables and encourages community contributions to scheduler adapters, testbeds, and specific cluster knowledge.

PSI/J has a rich HPC legacy

PSI/J was built by a team with decades of experience building workflow systems for large scale computing.

PSI/J is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy

PSI/J is part of the Exascale Computing Project
