Writing Parsl Apps
An App defines a computation that will be executed asynchronously by Parsl.
Apps are Python functions marked with a decorator which
designates that the function will run asynchronously and cause it to return
a Future
instead of the result.
Apps can be one of three types of functions, each with their own type of decorator
@python_app
: Most Python functions@bash_app
: A Python function which returns a command line program to execute@join_app
: A function which launches one or more new Apps
Start by learning how to write Python Apps, which define most of the rules needed to write other types of Apps.
