| − | | |
| − | * Goal: Run Slicer execution modules on multiple datasets and/or explore the parameter space of those modules using local computer resources or local GRID resources
| |
| − | * Summary: BatchMake integration with Slicer3 is complete. Real-world applications (EMSegmenter) are using BatchMake from within Slicer. Examples are given on how to use BatchMake with your Slicer3 Execution Modules (GaussianBlur example).

| − | == Background == | |
| − | | |
| − | * [http://www.batchmake.org BatchMake] provides an open-source toolkit for launching a controlled sequence of applications on the local computer or a GRID.
| |
| − | * [http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor Condor] is used as the open-source toolkit that provides access to GRID resource. It also provides an easy-to-install and easy-to-configure GRID implementation/network. We highly recommend it for your GRID needs.
| |
| − | * BatchMake and Condor work together to sequence tasks and to allocate and monitor resources and job progress.

| − | === Completed ===
| |
| − | # BatchMake Library
| |
| − | #* Distributed via Slicer3's getbuildtest2.tcl script
| |
| − | #** Slicer3 code location: Slicer3-lib/BatchMake
| |
| − | #* Default distribution does not include Condor
| |
| − | #** Can be installed by users
| |
| − | #** Changing two BatchMake variables will configure BatchMake to use Condor
| |
| − | # EMSegmenter BatchMake module
| |
| − | #* Distributed via Slicer3's getbuildtest2.tcl script
| |
| − | #** Slicer3 GUI Access: Filters/BatchProcessing/EMSegmenter BatchMake Module
| |
| − | #** Slicer3 code location: Slicer3/Applications/CLI/BatchMake
| |
| − | #* Applies EMSegmenter algorithm to a collection of data using local computer or GRID
| |
| − | # GaussianBlur BatchMake module
| |
| − | #* Distributed via Slicer3's getbuildtest2.tcl script
| |
| − | #** Slicer3 GUI Access: Filters/BatchProcessing/GaussianBlur BatchMake Module
| |
| − | #* Provides a simple example of how to batchmake-ify your Slicer3 modules
| |
| − | | |
| − | === To do ===
| |
| − | * Provide documentation
| |
| − | * Provide tutorial at AHM in January 2008
| |
| − | * Determine how to deliver BatchMake's GRID monitoring tool with Slicer3
| |
| − | ** Requires FLTK - will not be re-written into KWWidgets
| |
| − | * Consider general (no programming required) solution to using BatchMake with other Slicer modules
| |
| − | ** User browses to execution modules and specifies where wildcards should be substituted into command line
| |
| − | * Provide batch registration module
| |
| − | ** Requires completion of Registration Modules (non-batch versions)
