# Qt_Slurm v1.3.0
This package is meant for Qutip integration with Slurm on Linux based systems. Please let me know if there are any bugs. 

## Installation
### Required Installations:
- qutip<=4.7.6
### Optional Installations:

- feh (apt-package)

### How to Install:

```cmd
pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ qt-slurm
```



## How to Use

### Required Steps:

First, import the library as shown below:

```python
from qt_slurm import parallel_slurm as pqt
```
### Jupyter Notebook

If using Jupyter Notebook, at the end of your code (in the same cell as the last thing you wish to run), implement the parallelize function.

```python
pqt.parallelize(func, num_range, num_of_divs)
```
The first parameter of pqt.parallelize is 'func'. This is the function you wish to parallelize (usually a function incorporating the mesolve/sesolve functions of Qutip). The 'num_range' parameter is the parameter of the other 'func' function. This is usually the range as to which your are calculating mesolve/sesolve over. Finally, the final parameter, num_of_divs, is the number of points within your range. If using np.linspace() function, it is the final parameter entered. 

In a new cell (which will be the first cell you execute - besides the importing of libraries and modules) add the following function:

```python
pqt.execute("Name_of_notebook", num_of_nodes, num_of_cores, num_of_tasks)
```

pqt.execute() is responsible for converting the contents of your Jupyter Notebook to a Python file, moving that file to a shared folder, and then finally executing a Slurm command. To do this, you must enter the name of your notebook. If you are running the Jupyter Notebook out of your home directory, you do not need to include a path name. Otherwise, include a full path name if possible. The following three parameters are all variables required by Slurm. Set num_of_cores to the number of cores each computer has (in this case, 8) and num_of_nodes and num_of_tasks to the number of nodes you wish to use. 

Once you execute the last cell, the conversion will occur and the script will compute in parallel with Slurm. Outputs will be saved in the $HOME/sim_data folder in the form of a CSV file and PNG graph. If you have installed feh, the graph will be displayed on your screen. See the Python code for a more detailed breakdown. 

### Python

If using Python, you will only need to use the pqt.parallelize() function. This should be added to the end of your code with the necessary arguments. 

### Graphing

While the pqt.parallelize() function does do graphing, it currently does not have any customization options. However, the pqt.parallelize() function does return the output of the parallel_map functionality so you can choose to graph the data in its entirety once the parallelize() function has executed. However, you can also use the graph_viewer() function. 

Simply type and run a cell with the graph_viewer() function (as shown below) to view a live preview of your data. A slider at the bottom allows for the selection of different data in the $HOME/sim_data/ folder, this will automatically update the graph. There are additionally optional customization options for the title, axes labels, color, and legend. Checking the Save_Image box saves an image to the $HOME/sim_data folder. 

Note that running this function does not backlog any other usage of other functions in the Jupyter notebook. However, you cannot execute this code if there is a Slurm job running (or in an empty Jupyter notebook).

## Callable Functions

```python
from qt_slurm import parallel_slurm as pqt
```

### Parallelize()

```python
pqt.parallelize(func, num_range, num_of_divs)
```

**Arguments**: 

- func
  - Parallelizable function (should already be defined)
- num_range
  - Argument of 'func'
- num_of_divs
  - Number of divisions 

**Output**:

Parallelizes script only using Qutip's parallel_map function, **must be used with Slurm**. When used with a Slurm command, this function will split up the range of values and assign them to each node. 

Returns the results of the computation, additionally outputs the data and graph of the data locally.  

### Execute()  -- Specific to Jupyter Notebook

```python
pqt.execute("Name_of_notebook", num_of_nodes, num_of_cores, num_of_tasks)
```

**Arguments**:

- "Name_of_notebook"
  - The name (path optional, may prevent bugs or FileNotFound errors)
- num_of_nodes
  - Slurm command - requests the number of nodes to be used for the job
- num_of_cores
  - Slurm command - requests the number of cores to be used by each node (all Farm computers have 8 cores)
- num_of_tasks
  - Slurm command - The number of times the notebook will be sent out, *set equal to num_of_nodes*

**Output**:

Function will convert the Jupyter Notebook to an executable Python file. The Python file and job allocation request (in the form of srun) will be sent to Slurm.

### Clear()

```python
pqt.clear()
```

**Arguments**:

None

**Output**:

The clear() function will empty the temporary file folder if there is no job running. This function is not vital to be used and should only be used if you are running out of space/do not know how to find the temporary_files folder ($HOME/temporary_files).

### Graph_Viewer -- Specific to Jupyter Notebook

```python
pqt.graph_viewer()
```



**Arguments**:

None

**Output**:

Function will display a small GUI within Jupyter Notebook allowing for graphing customizations (as shown above). Will only run if there is no job currently running on the computer in use. 



## Release History
