molequeue

Desktop integration of high performance computing resources

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. It is built and tested on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows, with nightly binaries currently available for Mac OS X and Windows. 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).
