PODtool
PODtool is an interface designed to make it easy to offload excess workload to the Penguin Computing on Demand (POD) environment. Features include the abillity to easily and quickly tap compute resources from any Linux system without having to allocate and de-allocate server instances, integrate ‘spill over’ job submission into an existing workflow and avoid delayed processing of workflows due to internal resource constraints, and automatically transfer data and analysis results from and to POD. The Web service-based command line interface can drastically simplify management of compute jobs. Scripts for SGE and TORQUE can be submitted and will be implicitly routed to the corresponding execution environment.
