Module ParallelTask

source code

This module acts as a container for AIPSTask objects, and is responsible for farming out jobs in parallel to a cluster whose individual nodes run XML-RPC servers. Assumptions inherent in the current implementation:

1. All data has been copied to disks visible to the remote AIPS client, and are present in the appropriate AIPS disk catalogue.
2. An XML-RPC server must already be running on each of the intended computational nodes. (duh)
