parsl.executors.ipp_controller.Controller

class parsl.executors.ipp_controller.Controller(public_ip=None, interfaces=None, port=None, port_range=None, reuse=False, log=True, ipython_dir='~/.ipython', mode='auto', profile='default')

Start and maintain a IPythonParallel controller.

Parameters:

• public_ip (str, optional) – Specific IP address of the controller, as seen from the engines. If None, an attempt will be made to guess the correct value. Default is None.
• interfaces (str, optional) – Interfaces for ZeroMQ to listen on. Default is “*”.
• port (int or str, optional) – Port on which the iPython hub listens for registration. If set to None, the IPython default will be used. Default is None.
• port_range (str, optional) – The minimum and maximum port values to use, in the format ‘<min>,<max>’ (for example: ‘50000,60000’). If this does not equal None, random ports in port_range will be selected for all HubFactory listening services. This option overrides the port setting value for registration.
• reuse (bool, optional) – Reuse an existing controller.
• ipython_dir (str, optional) – IPython directory for IPythonParallel to store config files. This will be overriden by the auto controller start. Default is “~/.ipython”.
• profile (str, optional) – Path to an IPython profile to use. Default is ‘default’.
• mode (str, optional) – If “auto”, controller will be created and managed automatically. If “manual” the controller is assumed to be created by the user. Default is auto.
