MoleQueue is an open-source, cross-platform, system-tray resident desktop application for abstracting, managing, and coordinating the execution of tasks both locally and on remote computational resources.
Users can set up local and remote queues that describe where the task will be executed. Each queue can have programs, with templates to facilitate the execution of the program.
Input files can be staged, and output files collected using a standard interface.
The MoleQueue application is written in C++ using the Qt framework. It can execute programs directly on the local machine, and uses SSH to communicate with remote batch scheduling systems with support for Open Grid Scheduler (formerly Sun Grid Engine) and PBS. The backend communication is abstracted, and support is currently being added for UIT (a SOAP protocol for communicating with military HPC resources using ezHPC).
Key Features
- Intuitive interface designed to be useful to whole community.
- Support for local execution and remote schedulers (SGE, PBS, SLURM).
- System tray resident application managing queue of queues and job lifetime.
- Simple, lightweight JSON-RPC 2.0 based communication over local sockets.
- Qt 5 client library for simple integration in Qt applications. Configure queues and programs, and inspect the status of the queue(s).
- Logging is provided.
- Cross platform with nightly builds on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
