8 Pkg-Description: pipeline system for Octave and Matlab
9 PSOM is a lightweight library to manage complex multi-stage data processing. A
10 pipeline is a collection of jobs, i.e. Matlab or Octave code with a well
11 identified set of options that are using files for inputs and outputs. To
12 use PSOM, the only requirement is to generate a description of a pipeline in
13 the form of a simple Matlab/Octave structure. PSOM then automatically offers
14 the following services:
16 * Run jobs in parallel using multiple CPUs or within a distributed computing
18 * Generate log files and keep track of the pipeline execution. These logs are
19 detailed enough to fully reproduce the analysis.
20 * Handle job failures: successful completion of jobs is checked and failed
21 jobs can be restarted.
22 * Handle updates of the pipeline: change options or add jobs and let PSOM
23 figure out what to reprocess.
