We show how to setup Ipython parallel in GWDG Clusters. Adapted from ipyparallel docs.

Setup

To setup, specify a profile name at setup.sh:

PROFILENAME=<chosen name>

Then run the shell script:

bash setup.sh install

Starting ipyparallel

# start the cluster
ipcluster start --profile=<profilename> -n 10

# Start parallel computation with IPyparallel
$ ipython
In [1]: import ipyparallel as ipp
In [2]: c = ipp.Client(profile=<profilename>)
In [3]: c.ids

Uninstalling a profile

bash setup.sh uninstall
