.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
ipcluster is a control tool for IPython's parallel computing functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
IPython cluster startup. This starts a controller and engines using various
|
|
|
approaches. Use the IPYTHONDIR environment variable to change your IPython
|
|
|
directory from the default of .ipython or _ipython. The log and security
|
|
|
subdirectories of your IPython directory will be used by this script for log
|
|
|
files and security files.
