PyZoltan is as the name suggests, is a Python wrapper for the Zoltan data management library.
In PyZoltan, we wrap the specific routines and objects that we wish to use. The following features of Zoltan are currently supported:
- Dynamic load balancing using geometric algorithms
- Unstructured point-to-point communication
- Distributed data directories
PyZoltan requires the following:
Zoltan itself needs to be already installed. We provide a convenient script
called build_zoltan.sh that can be used to build Zoltan.
Many of the other dependencies can be installed using pip or conda:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Once this is installed one can install PyZoltan as follows:
$ pip install pyzoltan
or via the usual setup.py method:
$ python setup.py install # or develop
