OpenMOLE (Open MOdeL Experiment) is a workflow engine designed to leverage the computing power of parallel execution environments for naturally parallel processes. A process is told naturally parallel if the same computation runs many times for a set of different inputs. OpenMOLE workflows are suitable for many types of naturally parallel processes such as model experiment, image processing, text analysis… It is distributed under the AGPLv3 free software license.

Features:

  • Generic workflow – Full featured workflow system to describe naturally parallel processes,
  • Distributed computing out-of-the-box – Zero-deployment (no installation step) approach to distribute the workload transparently on multi-core machines, desktop-grids, clusters, grids,
  • Embed executables – Embed user’s executables (Java, Binary executable, NetLogo…),
  • Scalability – Manage millions of tasks and TB of data,
  • Model analysis – Advanced numerical experiments on simulation models (design of experiments, stochastic model replication, calibration, sensitivity analysis…).
