OpenMOLE (Open MOdeL Experiment) is a workflow engine designed to leverage the computing power of distributed execution environments for naturally parallel processes. A process is told naturally parallel if the same computation runs many times for a set of different inputs, such as model experiment or data processing, ...
It is a free software distributed under the AGPLv3 free software license.
Imagine that you want to understand and/or optimize some parameters of an executable that you generally set in an empirical or arbitrary manner. Then embed the executable in OpenMOLE (5 minutes), use one of the distributed genetic algorithms provided by OpenMOLE (5 minutes) and launch the workflow on a distributed execution environment with thousands of machines (1 minutes). To summarize, you can design large scale distributed programs reusing legacy code and advanced numeric methods in approximately 10 minutes.
To checkout OpenMOLE you can play with to the demo site (this site is wiped out every two hours). You should click on the litle cart and try out some of the market place examples.
