ronswanson: Building Table Models for 3ML [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2303.17609


ronswanson provides a simple-to-use framework for building so-called table or template models for astromodelsthe modeling package for multi-messenger astrophysical data-analysis framework, 3ML. With astromodels and 3ML one can build the interpolation table of a physical model result of an expensive computer simulation. This then enables efficient reevaluation of the model while, for example, fitting it to a dataset. While 3ML and astromodels provide factories for building table models, the construction of pipelines for models that must be run on high-performance computing (HPC) systems can be cumbersome. ronswanson removes this complexity with a simple, reproducible templating system. Users can easily prototype their pipeline on multi-core workstations and then switch to a multi-node HPC system. ronswanson automatically generates the required Python and SLURM scripts to scale the execution of 3ML with astromodel‘s table models on an HPC system.
