Long time, no release! More than a year! The OpenMOLE team is very proud to disclose "Mostly Magic", the 6th major version of OpenMOLE. As a reminder OpenMOLE (not very usefull for you it might be of use if you want to forward the mail to all your friends and familly :)) is a software for parameter exploration, optimisation, data processing which allow a simple access to large scale distributed execution environments. It has been designed to be useful for a wide range of users and is usable even for people with no knowledge in distributed computing.
You can discover and download this free and open-source software at https://www.openmole.org What's new? * A new task has been introduced, the CARETask. It makes it easier than ever to run your applications and their dependencies (C, Python, R, ...) in OpenMOLE * The access to EGI is now base on DIRAC and webdav. It is more reliable, more scalable an more efficient * A Path type is now available in samplings to avoid copying files over local networks (use with Clusters and shared file systems only, not on EGI) * Authentications are now tested when they are created. Valid authentications methods are marked with a green OK tag and can be used in the workflow * The optimisation methods have been redesigned to be easier to use * A new import wizard is here to ease the integration of your programs in OpenMOLE * The file browser of the GUI has been revamped and its now fast and handy * The execution panel has been widely improved. * A new democratic (/or is it?/) process to decide on the release name :) What's to come in next release? * First we plan to avoid as much as possible the long release cycles such as this one, we will make our best to shorten the release cycle of OpenMOLE to a few months. * A new website is under development (thanks Paul & Etienne aka jQuery team) * The documentation will be emporered with a search function in the documentation (thanks Julien!!!) * A new ContainerTask will offer support for Docker / OCI containers * A modular OpenMOLE, with additional plugins enabled on demand * Improvement of the interface to be even more user friendly, with more tooltips and integrated help. * Tutorials can be written in markdown! What's on our mind for 2017? * A multi-user version that you can install on a server and be used by several user at the same time * The possibility to delegate computation to cloud provider such as Amazon, Azure... and cloud middleware such as open stack. "Wow, that's exciting, how can I help if..." "I' m a beginner?" That's *even better*: * suggest features through issues * contribute to the documentation * spread the word! "I'm an advanced user but I'm not sure I can hack in OpenMOLE?" * write tutorials * share your workflows on the Market * invite us for tutorials / give a tutorial yourself (we can help!) "I speak Scala?" * implement features :) * check the issue list and try to fix things (we'll introduce finer labelling for easy picks) "Great is that all?" That's already a lot!
