batchtools: Tools for Computation on Batch Systems

As a successor of the packages 'BatchJobs' and 'BatchExperiments', this package provides a parallel implementation of the Map function for high performance computing systems managed by schedulers 'IBM Spectrum LSF' (&lt;<a href="https://www.ibm.com/products/hpc-workload-management" target="_top">https://www.ibm.com/products/hpc-workload-management</a>&gt;), 'OpenLava' (&lt;<a href="https://www.openlava.org/" target="_top">https://www.openlava.org/</a>&gt;), 'Univa Grid Engine'/'Oracle Grid Engine' (&lt;<a href="https://www.univa.com/" target="_top">https://www.univa.com/</a>&gt;), 'Slurm' (&lt;<a href="https://slurm.schedmd.com/" target="_top">https://slurm.schedmd.com/</a>&gt;), 'TORQUE/PBS' (&lt;<a href="https://adaptivecomputing.com/cherry-services/torque-resource-manager/" target="_top">https://adaptivecomputing.com/cherry-services/torque-resource-manager/</a>&gt;), or 'Docker Swarm' (&lt;<a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/" target="_top">https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/</a>&gt;). A multicore and socket mode allow the parallelization on a local machines, and multiple machines can be hooked up via SSH to create a makeshift cluster. Moreover, the package provides an abstraction mechanism to define large-scale computer experiments in a well-organized and reproducible way.
