pathos is a framework for heterogeneous computing. It provides a consistent high-level interface for configuring and launching parallel computations across heterogeneous resources. pathos provides configurable launchers for parallel and distributed computing, where each launcher contains the syntactic logic to configure and launch jobs in an execution environment. Examples of launchers that plug into pathos are: a queue-less MPI-based launcher (in pyina), a ssh-based launcher (in pathos), and a multi-process launcher (in multiprocess).

pathos provides a consistent interface for parallel and/or distributed versions of map and apply for each launcher, thus lowering the barrier for users to extend their code to parallel and/or distributed resources. The guiding design principle behind pathos is that map and apply
