Welcome to the Documentation of ACME

ACME (Asynchronous Computing Made ESI, pronounced “ak-mee”) is a framework for calling Python functions in parallel, originally intended for using SLURM on the ESI HPC cluster (local multi-processor hardware is supported as well). ACME is built on top of the parallel computing library dask and is used by SyNCoPy.
