It’s finally there!
After 6 years of hard work we made it to 1.0 (Heroic Hippo). It combines stability and ergonomic interfaces to provide the best model exploration tool ever made. OpenMOLE is a workflow engine designed to leverage the computing power of distributed execution environments for naturally parallel processes. A process is said naturally parallel if the same computation runs many times for a set of different inputs, such as model experiment or data processing…
We are very proud of this success, that has been made possible thanks to the effort and support of a dynamic community of developers, users and also several academic funding.
This version has mostly focus on stabilization, with some novelties nevertheless:
* the distributed computing feature of OpenMOLE are now very robust and efficient,
* the evolutionary algorithm part has matured and is usable to explore models from the console API,
* a new distributed environments (SLURM) is now available.
In the next versions:
* the graphical interface will be multi-user, web based and run in the browser,
* new environments will be provided (Condor, SGE),
* advanced methods such as genetic algorithm will be usable from the graphical interface,
* it will be possible to generate console scripts from a graphical workflow,
* bootstrapping methods that quickly and automatically embed your models in OpenMOLE will be implemented.
