some of the main features that are implemented or will be implemented in 1.0:

• Easily defined tasks - Clustering software is only as useful as the jobs that can be written for it. To this end pydra hides parallelization code and makes writing tasks simple.
• Map-Reduce support - Map-Reduce is a  concept introduced by google. Pydra currently supports most of the Map-Reduce concept. The only missing piece is parallelizing the map function.
• Network auto-discovery - To aide in setting up a cluster nodes will be discoverable via the
• Job queueing - Jobs will be started immediately if they can be, otherwise Pydra will queue jobs automatically
• Web based interface - Through the management interface the cluster can be managed, and tasks can be run or
• Central cluster configuration - Nodes can be configured and updated via the management interface
• History - Detailed history for tasks.
• Fault tolerance - Things go wrong, pydra is designed to gracefully recover when it happens.
• security - Pydra remotely executes code, the controls for doing so are tightly wrapped to prevent tampering with your cluster.
