Colmena
The core concept of Colmena is a “thinker” application. The Thinker application is responsible for intelligently responding to new data, such as by updating a machine learning model or selecting a new simulation with Bayesian optimization.
Colmena provides a few main components to enable building thinker applications:
- A “Task Server” that provides a simplified interface to HPC-ready workflow systems.
- A high-performance queuing system for interacting with method server(s) from thinking applications.
- An extensible base class for building thinking applications with a dataflow programming model.
