PPlus - A Parallel Python Environment with easy data sharing

Release:0.5.1 Homepage:http://slipguru.disi.unige.it/Software/PPlus Repository:https://bitbucket.org/slipguru/pplus

PPlus is a simple environment to execute Python code in parallel on many machines without much effort. It is actually a fork of Parallel Python, another simple but powerful framework for parallel execution of python code, which lacks features needed for effective use in our daily research.

More specifically, PPlus was created to answer following needs:

• to facilitate data transport over distributed environment of usually very big file, exposing a simple interface while handling details in the background
• to separate file handling between different experiments, so one machine can participate in many computational experiments simultaneously
