Description:

Taktuk is a parallel and scalable remote execution tool for cluster.
It works by propagating the execution of a parallel program on all
target nodes, using standard remote execution protocols (rsh, ssh,
etc...). Remote call scheduling automatically adapts its behavior to
the remote execution protocol used, and to the load of the network
and remote hosts. This tool is completely independent of the remote
protocol used. All remote execution protocols providing an IO redirection
of the remote process launched may be used. A grammar may be optionally
provided to describe the environment, hence providing increased overall
deployment speed in the context of a complex topology (for instance in
a grid environment). For a more responsive deployment a remote launch
(rsh ssh or other) delay can be bounded to bypass slow nodes and ignore
the specific timeout provided by the protocol used. Taktuk provides full
IO and signal redirection to the original console user.
