taktuk

efficient, large scale, parallel remote execution of commands

TakTuk allows one to execute commands in parallel on a potentially large set of remote nodes (using ssh to connect to each node). It is typically used inside high performance computing clusters and grids. It uses an adaptive algorithm to efficiently distribute the work and sets up an interconnection network to transport commands and perform I/Os multiplexing. It doesn't require any specific software on the nodes thanks to a self-propagation algorithm.
