Cloudnumbers: Your Python Application in the Cloud

cloudnumbers.com supports the interpreted, interactive, object-oriented and extensible programming language Python (http://www.python.org/). Python is a user-friendly open source programming language that is used in many areas. It has become really popular since many programmers consider it to be one of the easiest programming languages to study and work with.
cloudnumbers.com combines High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Python in order to provide a fully scalable platform for all your calculations. Combining Python´s ease-of-use with high performance computing means that ideas can more quickly become applications, increasing the productivity of developers, while overcoming any limitations.
HPC support for Python is provided with the following libraries:
  • mpi4py (http://mpi4py.scipy.org/): This module provides the binding of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard to the Python programming language. It allows any Python program to exploit multiple processors.
  • pp (http://www.parallelpython.com/): This module provides mechanism for parallel execution of Python code on multicore machines and on computer clusters.
