Package: python3-custodian (2024.1.9-3)

[ Source: custodian  ]

flexible just-in-time job management framework in Python

Custodian is a simple, robust and flexible just-in-time (JIT) job management framework written in Python. Using custodian, you can create wrappers that perform error checking, job management and error recovery. It has a simple plugin framework that allows you to develop specific job management workflows for different applications.

Error recovery is an important aspect of many high-throughput projects that generate data on a large scale. When you are running on the order of hundreds of thousands of jobs, even an error-rate of 1% would mean thousands of errored jobs that would be impossible to deal with on a case-by-case basis.

The specific use case for custodian is for long running jobs, with potentially random errors. For example, there may be a script that takes several days to run on a server, with a 1% chance of some IO error causing the job to fail. Using custodian, one can develop a mechanism to gracefully recover from the error, and restart the job with modified parameters if necessary.

The current version of Custodian also comes with several sub-packages for error handling for Vienna Ab Initio Simulation Package (VASP), NwChem, QChem, FEFF, Lobster and CP2K calculations.

This package installs the library for Python 3.
